Kennedy told the committee the proposal was not an amnesty. People seeking legal status would have to pay a $2,000 fine, apply for a six-year temporary status, have a job, pay taxes, learn English and show an understanding of U.S. government.

And at the end of six years, Senator? What then? Congress and the President won't get rid of the ones that are here illegally already. So, how do you propose to send them back in in six year?

Senator, we know they aren't going back in six years, so, yes, Senator, it IS amnesty. You are just not calling it amnesty.

Exactly! They all know that none of these illegals will actually pack up and leave in six years. This arrangement is wrapped in such dishonesty it's incredible.
