Amnesty is the completely wrong approach. For one illegals can't prove how long they've been in the country and millions will and are coming over just to get in on it ---not to work hard either because amnesty qualifies them for all kinds of welfare programs and other government programs. Once they are amnestied, the few who are here to work hard for low wages would have to be paid the minimum wage and provided all sorts of things like Workman's Comp and overtime pay and Earned Income Tax, then they'd no longer be the cheap employees their employers wanted and will be replaced with new illegals who'll do the work the Americans and amnestied won't do.
