Under real amnesty, your status is legalized

Agreed.

Under de facto amnesty, you status is ignored.

Either way, they get to stay, get benefits, get education, etc.

cut off the benefits and don’t let them vote.

Either way, they get to stay, get benefits, get education, etc.

But not the same benefits. If de facto amnesty is the same as amnesty, then why the push to make them legal? It should be obvious that some amnesties are more equal than others. McCain and Rubio use de facto to fool and deceive.
