They have to be EARNED; that's not blanket amnesty.

You're right. I never said it was a blanket amnesty. I said it is a form of amnesty. The lawbreakers (the border intruders and their employers) will not be penalized under criminal codes as they would/should if this plan is not enacted. That is a form of amnesty. Nor will they have to travel back to their country of origin to apply as all of the LEGAL immigrants stand in line to do. That is a reward. This plan is a form of amnesty that rewards lawbreakers.

Exactly, it's nothing but slow motion amnesty, that will do nothing but attract millions more.

Flaw in your plot: if there is never any plan enacted, those people will just stay here, period. There will never be any wholesale rounding up and deporting; never. You all need to forget that.

Wrong; temporary workers would be expected to return to their home countries at the end of their authorized period of stay
