Why would you grant amnesty for acts other than illegally entering the country?
However, your point illustrates why separate issues should be taken up in separate bills. If one of the bills addressed amnesty alone, your point would certainly be raised and addressed. Why stop at identity theft? How about rape, murder? Clearly, amnesty should solely the issue of a previous illegal entry.
And remember, amnesty is not legalization. Depending upon the terms of a legalization bill, amnesty might just allow an illegal to come out and be deported and thereby avoid the risk of jail time for failing to do so.
