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.

Go to Merriam-Webster Online and look up the definition of amnesty. You'll see that it has nothing to do with citizenship; rather it speaks about governmental pardon of a group of people.

How long are you going to continue promoting this falsehood?

They still can apply for citizenship. Amnesty just means they will not pay the price for their past lawbreaking. It never meant automatic citizenship. Besides, when you get all the benefits of citizenship without its liabilities, who needs it?

Why do you keep insisting this is not amnesty? Amnesty has nothing to do with citizenship. This program offered by Bush is amnesty, no matter what you or he call it.

"This is a temporary workers permit."

What does the word "renewable" mean to you?
