Calling the Bush proposal "amnesty" is what is causing the mis-interpretation.

They have to have a damn job in addition to a number of other things to qualify for the visa.

They will also be significantly fined for crossing illegally to begin with.

The BS being spread about something proposed is what will cause a increase in crossing.

Bush better get out in front of this soon.

Nobody believes for one minute that this plan can be enforced, that is why everyone calls it an amnesty. Look at it this way, right now it is completely illegal for them to be here and they refuse to simply enforce that black and white statute.

"Calling the Bush proposal "amnesty" is what is causing the mis-interpretation."

Definition of amnesty-a warrant granting release from punishment for an offense. Sure looks like that fits the proposal.

"They have to have a damn job in addition to a number of other things to qualify for the visa."

They should not even have the damn jobs in the first place, the law is that they are not legally able to hold jobs. How about enforcing the current laws (we ask that when people cry for more gun laws, why should this be different)?

"They will also be significantly fined for crossing illegally to begin with."

So we don't punish them, we just make them pay a fee (fine?) for breaking the law in the first place and we still let them stay here.

"The BS being spread about something proposed is what will cause a increase in crossing."

Can you prove that it isn't?

"Bush better get out in front of this soon."

Agreed.
