They keep telling us this is NOT an amnesty.....it seems they don't read the dictionary..if it looks, quacks and walks like a duck, it's a dirty, ugly pig of an amnesty bill.
am·nes·ty noun 1. a general pardon for offenses, esp. political offenses, against a government, often granted before any trial or conviction.
2. Law. an act of forgiveness for past offenses, esp. to a class of persons as a whole.
3. a forgetting or overlooking of any past offense. verb (used with object) 4. to grant amnesty to; pardon.
>>”Right now the law forbids us from getting into Social Security to determine whether we can verify in fact the genuine owner of the number and whether we’ve got two people using the same number at the same time,” he said. “The only way to get that is for Congress to pass this bill.”<<
This bill goes beyond amnesty. It gives illegals many rights that applicants for legal entry do not have, and in fact gives illegals advantages that US citizens do not have.
