Are you sure it was just Pres. Obama who has ever advocated amnesty for illegal aliens from Mexico?
From the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) website:
"
Americans Spurn Illegal Alien Amnesty, Polls Say," dated 10/2001
Or this from a little know website called Vdare.com:
(Hate the title of the article, but...) "
That Amnesty Proposal – Ruling Class Returns To Its Vomit (Again)"
Try not to allow yourself to become so blinded by partisanship that you fail to recognize that this immigration problem has been going on for at least the past 30 years and that both sides believe they have something to gain by not adequately sealing the boards. My question still remains, however, as the Vdare article dares to ask:
"If boarder security and illegal immigration are so important to Republican politicians, why didn't they do something about it right after 9/11 when the nation was made to realized the dangers of not adhering to or improving our immigration policies?"
Why now all of a sudden have they jumped on this immigration issue but are still unwilling to tackling it head-on but instead are willing to skirt around the issue by coming up with such lame solutions as amending the 14th Amendment?
