Ronald Reagan promised us a one time amnesty, saying that would put an end to the problem. Then we had a second amnesty, because, well, it was to show we meant business the first time. Now both parties are proposing yet another amnesty, this time FOR SURE showing we’re serious.
Simple answer: Here’s your amnesty, please report the human traffickers and their location and when they are arrested and imprisoned for human trafficking across international borders, we’ll give you a green card. Because it’s not your fault you were brought here without consent...
Ahh, man, the howls that would come from that would be sweet music to my ears.
That's a really important point.
Usually in a plea deal you're expected to allocute to the crime.
These people get something no citizen gets: amnesty from the original crime, amnesty for all the follow up crimes, no demand to identify the other criminals involved in the crime, no criminal record pardoned or otherwise, nothing.
It's unprecedented in American history. Foreign criminals have the right to commit crimes with impunity, no prosecution, no cooperation, and no record of it?
Breathtaking. They are truly privileged beyond us on a scale never seen before.
If they murder someone, what would happen? The police apologize for arresting them?
Oh Wait. That already DID happen, in San Francisco, and now we have DA's all across the country intentionally charging them with lesser crimes simply to avoid a triggering felony.
Beyond breath taking and into disgusting.
