The President never said he is going to ‘amnestize’ the lot of them.
He said that a ‘hard look’ needs to be taken, that SOME of them are great people brought here through no fault of their own, etc.
That clearly indicates the President will be making decisions on a case-by-case basis.
LOL, to me that statement reminds me of talking to my teenager. ie, I don’t want to argue about this right now but “in your dreams.”
