"You've misunderstood most of the mechanics of the Bush plan, which is an amnesty..."

No, Bush's plan is NOT President Reagan's 1985 amnesty, or any amnesty, for that matter.

It is a plea bargain. Illegals have to pay a fine. They have to register themselves and their employers. Those aren't the terms of an amnesty, but rather, are the terms of a plea bargain.

Make that Reagan's 1986 Amnesty. What's the difference?
