Illegal Amnesty, the Iraq War and the Loss of Rights
by Charles Coughlin
There are some fierce debates raging in patriot circles about which is worst for America: the Iraq War, the Guest Worker Amnesty Bill or the Loss of Rights, meaning the warrantless spying, Bush’s torture bill, the loss of habeas corpus, secret prisons and the president’s new power to declare any one of us an “enemy combatant.”
A significant number of Americans might say the threat of an guest worker amnesty bill is the biggest danger to America. Many of these people voted for the GOP in the last election, fearing that if the Republicans lose Congress, a guest worker amnesty bill would be pushed through.

That is a de facto amnesty. Rewarding the Republcians with another electoral victory would have just led to more of the same.
