I will believe it when I see it on the enforcement part. Regardless, this is amnesty by another name. Next time around will be the last last chance. Then the last last LAST chance.

No, it's not amnisty at all. The difference is in the time frame. This is a temporary workers permit. It does not grant the right to apply for citizenship.

No, not amnesty...more like a plea bargain.

8 million violators are being offered a plea bargain in which they can pay a fine, register, and enter into a 3 year visa program on probation. If they lose their job, break a law, or misbehave, then they get deported and lose their eligibility to ever be in the U.S. again...and we will know where and how to deport them because they have *registered*.

In contrast, there would be no fee or registration for a true "amnesty." Amnesty is a very different beast, a beast that doesn't send you back to your home country after 3 years.
