Illegal Immigration Amnesty: What Would Lincoln Have Done?

Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation freed non-citizens slaves. He did that for philosophical reasons and ALSO for practical reasons-he hoped the slaves would take up arms against their citizen owners. That was a arrogant abuse of power for the president of ALL the United States. For largely political reasons he aligned himself with people who had no legal status and hoped they would kill legally protected American citizens..What would he do today if he saw political gain in amnesty for illegal immigrants?

Amnesty may well be an issue that could break up this country again.

Senator John McCain & The Return To The Reagan Years

If I've heard it once I've heard Senator McCain say it a hundred times about wanting to return to the Reagan era of leadership. Sorry Mac all we have is the present.

But if you really want to reference the past, then why go back only to Reagan? He never put anything on paper worth comparing to the writings and plannings of the founding fathers and in particular Thomas Jefferson. It's called the Constitution.

Hey McCain there is nothing written about preemptive war ,unending occupation of foreign countries or amnesty for illegal immigrants in those documents.
