That is clearly not an amnesty by any stretch of the imagination.

My FRiend, if you think Rand Paul's position (see below) to grant "a work status" for the "11 million who are here" (i.e., the "11 million" who broke our laws and are here illegally) is not amnesty, then you and I differ on what constitutes reality.

Q: You have said that the 11 million immigrants in this country already here should have some legal status and pay taxes. You want to find some sort of legal status for them?

PAUL: What I want to do first is secure the border. If we secure the border and we can say who is coming, who is going, and only people come, come legally, the 11 million that are here, I think there could be a work status for them. And I think what I have tried to say is, what we want is more legal immigration, so we have less illegal immigration. But I am open to immigration reform. I voted against the bill that came forward, though, primarily because it limited the number of legal work visas.
