No, in past Amnesty programs you applied for it, got it, and got to stay forever. Here you do not. If you apply for a guest worker program from your home country and you optain a job you get issued the permit at no charge. If you are here and apply for the program you must have a job and you must pay a fee. AND at the end of the 3 year period you must return to your home country. BIG DIFFERENCE

If you prefer to ignore the meaning of amnesty (a governmental pardon to a group of people) in order to spin for this Administration, be my guest. I'm not surprised, given the fact that I've never seen you criticize any action of this administration.

Do you really think that the gov't is going to spend the time and money to hunt down violaters and deport them? I have my doubts. They haven't done it in the past.
