Angry Author of the 1986 Amnesty

During a May 28 interview with the San Diego Union Tribune, former Sen. Alan Simpson was asked whether the U.S. was prepared for another illegal alien “amnesty,” the term that critics slap on President Bush’s “guest worker” provision.

Simpson’s reply: “We never will be. You can't just keep doing them or everybody will come regardless. I don't know. All of us said if you're going to give this, just tell the world this is it. Well, hell, over the years we knew it wasn't it because the damn verifier didn't work and the employers couldn't possibly handle it. And wouldn't and couldn't and shouldn't, actually. But amnesty is a bad word. That's why we called it legalization. “
