...but it's not amnesty.

Come on. We didn't accept sleazy word-parsing from the previous President, let's not do it now.

It's not word parsing. He proposed temporary work visas. I'll give you the reason this debate was opened to begin with: we don't hav ethe money to hire ten thousand more agents, to track down 10 million illegals who don't want to be found, house and feed them while they are checked for wants/warrants and transport them. Asso Mexicans aren't the only illegals in this country, but while the fence and other border security proposals are being fought in court, they're going to come back as fast as we dump them over the border. They do that now. They won't stop.

A temporary work visa will make these anonymous people known and on record. It will not make them citizens. In truth, he's not really offering them anything other than they they could get with an H1B right now. Ultimately, this plan will encourage more illegals to come out of hiding. Ultimately, it will not stop Islamists here illeglally, becuae their goal is murder and making themselves known is not in their interests. To succeed in THAT area, we have to seriously restrict visas from Muslim countries.
