According to this idiot, as long as the person learns English, pays a fine, and gets to the back of the line, it is not amnesty.

Well, if he had said "gets to the back of the line" BACK IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY....

That might make sense.

If I was King...once an illegal alien was apprehended and deported, they would NEVER be allowed to apply for legal immigration...NEVERMIND citizenship.

Anything that lets them benefit from having committed the illegal act of illicitly crossing the border is amnesty!

Agree. And as someone who has actually issued visas, most of these illegal aliens would not qualify for a tourist visa even if they had never entered this country illegally.
