Break the law -- But only if you do it for a long time.

What to do with all the illegal aliens? Bush wants to set up 80,000 National Guard troops around Arizona and Texas to shoo them away as they attempt to cross the border. The troops are not allowed to arrest anyone.

Reagan had the idea. Amnesty! Under Reagan, most illegal immigrants who could establish that they had resided in America continuously for five years would be granted temporary resident status, which could be upgraded to permanent residency after 18 months and, after another five years, to citizenship.

Kinda reminds me of the "statute of limitations". If you do something, say, steal a priceless painting, and are not caught for seven years then you are free and clear!

So, it's not OK to break the law BUT if you break the law for a really long time then it's OK!

So any readers out there who committed a crime a long time ago (murder excluded) rest easy! They can't touch you!

There's something kind of perverted in that logic isn't there?
