Advocates for legalization of illegal aliens claim that their legalization plan is not an amnesty because the illegal aliens would have to pay a fine and go to the back of the line before they would be eligible for citizenship. LINE, WHAT LINE?
If illegal aliens really went to the back of the line, they would have to return to their native country and get in the back of the line of those who have legally applied to immigrate to the U.S who have already been waiting years for visas.
And I'm sure that all those who are legally waiting for visas in their own countries would be glad to sneak in to the U.S. and pay a fine to get in the back of the line with the illegal aliens already in the U.S.
When the government waives the usual punishment and allows those to keep what it is they cheated for and broke the law to obtain, that is most certainly an amnesty!
