These illegal immigrants are being granted amnesty by virtue of the fact that they will not be prosecuted or deported for the crime of entering this country illegally. Actually, they are still illegal aliens if they do not apply for the program. And if they apply for the program, they have to pay a fine in order to get the blue card. I suspect that many current illegals will go home and apply from Mexico.

The program will offer legal status to the millions who are here illegally, but they will have to pay a fee. Bush specifically calls it a fee, not a fine. I don't think it's unreasonable to require the illegal aliens to complete some paperwork and pay a fee to receive their amnesty.
