I know people with a green cards and except for voting and working at certain defense related jobs they get all the benefits of US citizens.

Voting rights are not immediate, but they are still inevitable for green card holders.

Also, thanks to chain migration, multiply the number of amnestied by at least 3 to see the political impact. In the long run, multiply by 8 or 10.

Those are just points we have discussed many times that I assume you want the other readers to know.

The reason why I clarify the differences between this and ‘real’ amnesty is because ... while I understand some may want to call it ‘amnesty’ to increase the outrage over this Obama act (non-enforcement) we all don't like, if we were to press the argument that what Obama is doing IS the same as amnesty, then that COULD be used by amnesty RINOs as a argument for REAL amnesty (aka reform) which would be even worse.

They have done it before. Remember the RINO term 'sham-nesty' used to argue for Bush-McCain LEGAL amnesty? See? I think this stuff out.
