is amnesty included in this immigration reform? whats the difference?

Re: Immigration reform headed for passage this year
 

One of the best news.

Who calls if they use the word 'Amnesty'

I know that people who do not qualify for DA will get some kind of legal status through learning English, pay fines, background checks, pay back taxes.

Re: Immigration reform headed for passage this year
 

Please, please never the word amnesty in the same sentence as immigration reform. Amnesty implies a complete pardon which
a)further illegalizes the current act
b)makes CIR seem like an act of forgiveness; basically something for nothing.

US govt. is trying to pass CIR for their benefit also.

All of us should expect to pay fines, submit to background checks etc. Do anything that's reasonable.

TRUE and Support your point. the only bill passed on 1986 was called amnesty, because they were paid nothing and got the green card right away. what the word amnesty means is that forgive anyone who breakt the law to come here and legalize them right away without any punishment

Yeah, and the 1986 bill is the start of everything that has gone wrong with the current immigration system. Those were different years, when the US was an actual land of opportunity, now its just a big mess, with everyone fighting for every job on the market.

Some of us cannot leave because this is all we know.
