Wasn't he at one time for a form of amnesty (before changing his mind)?

No.

However, Palin does support a form a amnesty, as does Huckabee.

My mistake. Guess I did not understand the Pence-Hutchison Plan from a while back.

... Under the Pence-Hutchison plan, foreign workers will initially be granted two-year work visas, automatically renewable for an additional 12 years. Then the foreign worker is given an "X-Change" visa, newly created by the legislation. After five years, the "X-Change" visa will allow the worker to transition to permanent resident status (a green card holder). Permanent residents are entitled to citizenship after five years. Because "temporary" workers will have the right to bring their families, the right to stay and work for 17 years and then the right to stay permanently, the vast majority will certainly do so...
