The silly season continues on immigration
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow has incomprehensibly compared illegal immigration to getting a traffic ticket.
Meanwhile, Rep. Sensenbrunner and other immigration "hawks" continue to inaccurately and dishonestly call a proposal which requires that a penalty in fact be paid by illegal immigrants "amnesty."
It may not be a good idea. It may not be the price illegal immigrants need to pay. It may well, as Tom Tancredo says, be analogous to trying to negotiate a $300 ticket down to twenty dollars.
But it isn't amnesty, and continuing to call it that is simply a lie.
