A Determined Camel's Nose* Specter Seeks Amnesty, No Citizenship As I See It -- by Glenn Spencer Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- August 6 Dobbs: And there's a great distrust. I mean, you look at the approval ratings. You hear from your constituents. There's just a great distrust of this administration, this Congress, whether Democratically led or Republican led, that you all can do anything right. Specter: Well, that distrust is well-founded. But I think that we have finally come up with the money to back up -- back up our words. And with respect to the 12 million who are undocumented, I'm floating an idea. I'm not introducing legislation. But floating an idea just to remove the fugitive status, not to deal with citizenship, but just to say that an unscrupulous employer can't hold the threat of reporting him over his head. And if fugitive status is removed, we can get them to register. Get them to hold a job. Pay back taxes. No citizenship, which is the guts of the amnesty worry.  Watch Transcript *"One night, as an Arab sat in his tent..." Past Features   Operation B.E.E.F. Updates
