No, a tax increase is easy to see - does the tax rate go up or down?
Apparently, you cannot see that with amnesty. What the immigration plan called for was NOT amnesty, it did not meet either the textbook definition of amnesty (which a tax increase would be easy to tell), nor does it even come close to an actual amnesty as granted by the government (either for tax purposes, registration, or illegal immigrants).
Apparently moving the goalposts is the “McPain SUCKS!” wing of the conservative movement’s modus operandi.
So once again - define amnesty. Once you get that down, then we can talk. I’ve told you what I believe it is - as defined by Merriam Webster.
Short of that, you’re just bloviating for the sake of hearing your own echoes.
Under your definition, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 that Reagan signed would not have been considered “amnesty” either—although most everyone recognized it as such.
