If it walks like amnesty and quacks like amnesty, it's amnesty.

Amnesty by any other name would stink as sour. (Apologies to Bill S.)

Don't **** on my head and tell me it's raining.

(I'm working on more)

Nope. An amnesty is a one-time grant of citizenship or greencard to anyone who's been here for a while, given because they've been here for a while. That is not what's being proposed because (1) it is not a grant of citizenship or greencard (2) it doesn't matter if you've been here for a while, only that you have a qualifying job (3) it's not a one-time thing (4) it doesn't confer a permanent status.

Repeat after me... "temporary worker permit".

Y'all take it easy now, ok?
