Just Negotiating the Price   [Mark Krikorian]

One illegal alien demanding amnesty at yesterday's march in L.A. complained of the size of the payment that would be required under the new White House amnesty plan: "Charging that much, Bush is going to be even more expensive than the coyotes."

If I might adapt the old joke:

An illegal alien approaches a Republican politician at a bar and asks, "Would you give me amnesty for a million dollars?"

"Why, sure," replies the politician.

"How about $1,000?" asks the illegal.

The politician retorts in horror, "What kind of person do you think I am?"

"We've already established that, sir," says the illegal alien. "Now we're just negotiating the price."
