Quote:A rose by any other name.........

 

It's not, amnesty would be them having full legal status and protections/benefits of citizens. They can't vote, they can't legally collect welfare, they can't get subsidies under Obamacare, all they can do is register and pay taxes on the lose promise they won't be deported for 2 years. Really it would be stupid for them to come out and register but that's a different topic.

 

What this does however is strategically paint the GOP coming into power into a corner, either they're going to put together comprehensive reform and debate what needs to be done, or stomp their feet and look like the do nothing party again. I don't like what Obama did but that doesn't make it illegal or amnesty it just makes him a good politician, time for the other side to start playing the game a little smarter.
