Amnesty for Iraqis; NO amnesty for Mexicans. Hmmmmm.
Interesting, isn't it? The hard right government of the US wants to give Iraq insurgents who have been killing our troops amnesty here: Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki yesterday proposed a limited amnesty to help end the Sunni Arab insurgency as part of a national reconciliation plan that Maliki said would be released within days. The plan is likely to include pardons for those who had attacked only US troops, a top adviser said.
but NO AMNESTY for immigrants here: The United States is facing an "invasion" of illegal immigrants, so the border should be fenced off and large numbers of soldiers deployed to intercept them, the national executive director of the Minutemen movement, Al Garza, told IPS. If these measures are not taken, "we'll do it ourselves," he warned.
Mixed messages, we'd say.
We're launching a poll to see how Americans feel about amnesty...should we give it to the Iraqi insurgents AND the immigrants; JUST the insurgents; JUST the immigrants? We need your help. Where do you weigh in?
