Joseph Farah Says What I Have Been Saying About Amnesty

J.J. Jackson* | April 26, 2006 

We had a president in the 1990s who didn’t always mean what he said and didn’t always say what he meant.

Once he even questioned the meaning of the word “is.”

Now we have another president who tells us he opposes “amnesty,” but his definition of that term has little to do with what it says in the dictionary.

Just for the record ? and to spare you the time of looking it up ? Webster’s New World defines amnesty as follows: 1. a pardon, especially for political offenses against a government; 2. a deliberate overlooking, as of an offense;

Asked at a recent press briefing what the president means by amnesty, White House spokesman Scott McClellan explained it is anything that “put someone on an automatic path toward citizenship.”

Maybe now we can see why the president is speaking a different language when he says he opposes amnesty.

He is clearly not against pardoning millions, even tens of millions, of illegal aliens who broke the law by entering this country, and who continue to break our laws by living and working here. President Bush doesn’t consider such a blanket pardon “amnesty.”

He only considers a blanket decision to put those people on an “automatic path toward citizenship” amnesty.
