A work permit is amnesty? They can be removed at any time for cause or for no reason at all other than their illegal presence here. How is that amnesty?
Amnesty (to me) means “all is forgiven”. This is more like “we’re overlooking it for now”.
This is more like “we’re overlooking it for now”- and I forgot to add “And we know where to find you”.
It doesn’t seem like True Marco Rubio type Amnesty to me.
More like you said...we are ignoring it for now.
However, in a deportation hearing , appeal, etc..., this might have bearing when you go to evict said person, etc.
Dreamers applying for the deportation amnesty, known as DACA, also apply for “advance parole,” which is a separate program that offers a potential shortcut to a green card, a key step on the path to citizenship.
