Nails it once again ... I have no problem writing the A word ... it is after all a small form of amnesty, though the amnesty is 'forgiving' what amounts to a misdemeanor by requiring fines and certain specific behaviors/steps toward citizenship. I wonder how this national debate would proceed if it were possible to post for the average citizen Sowell's wisdom every time the mainstream propagandists spittle out some twisted sound byte on the topic? I'll bet we'd demand fencing of the entire border while we debate the particulars! Even Hispanics want a secure border ... Hispanics who are here legally.

Those are steps we currently require, right? And if the amount of the "fine" is as low as I've seen, that's not punishment...it's a processing fee.
