"‘No, if you are here illegally you don’t follow the steps that at some point through immigration reform we’re going to be able to provide, and that is to somehow allow you to work. If you’re not going to do that, you will be deported you will be gone.”

I didn't get from that statement that there will be amnesty. Since the illegals are here & won't be mass deported, at least registering will identify who they are & where they work.

The next step could be to fine the employers who are hiring them.

Of course, closing the border must be done so as not to add MORE illegals into the country.

If O'Reilly would quit bloviating & give her a chance to state her case fully - we might have better insight on her position.

You don't understand the language of the pro-amnesty supporters. Why would an illegal register? So he/she could be denied employment or deported?

There are already laws doing exactly that. They were part of the 1986 amnesty bill. We just aren't enforcing them. It is also against the law for someone who is here illegally to work.
