Six Types of Amnesty
1.
BASIC PENALTY AMNESTY:
The lawbreaker is forgiven the crime and not assessed the
penalty.
The
Basic Penalty Amnesty waives the penalty in current law that
says if you are caught here illegally, you cannot live here
legally for three or 10 years (depending on how long you have
been here illegally). Most, however, would levy some kind
of fine.
2.
BASIC REWARD AMNESTY:
The lawbreaker is actually rewarded for lawbreaking by giving
the illegal alien the very thing he/she attempted to steal
in the first place. In the case of breaking immigration laws,
most illegal aliens are seeking a job in the United States.
A Basic Reward Amnesty would let illegal aliens have the job.
3.
INSTANT JACKPOT REWARD AMNESTY:
The lawbreaker wins the jackpot of all global jackpots throughout
the 3rd world - he/she is instantly rewarded for breaking
our immigration laws by being given permanent U.S. residency
and the right to U.S. citizenship.
4.
MULTI-STEP JACKPOT REWARD AMNESTY:
The lawbreaker is first given a Basic Reward Amnesty (usually
through a legal work permit) and, after a period of time and
at least one more step, then given permanent U.S. residency
and the right to U.S. citizenship.
5.
BLANKET AMNESTY:
This is basically the Instant Jackpot Reward Amnesty but for
the entire population of illegal aliens (minus a few exceptions).
The 1986 amnesty was a Blanket Amnesty. All of the amnesties
in the 1990s tended to be narrower and for certain nationalities
only.
6.
DE-FACTO AMNESTY:
This does not immediately reward illegal aliens with legal
status but holds out promise that if they avoid arrest long
enough they will get an amnesty. Section 245(i) is a De-Facto
Amnesty because it says that all illegal aliens in the country
who have the right through jobs or relatives to apply for
legal immigration may do so in this country with the tacit
assurance that they may remain in this country illegally until
their name comes up to the top of the list for a green card
years later.
Current
politicians are being careful not to give Instant or Blanket
Amnesties. But for most illegal aliens under the new proposals,
they can almost instantly get the legal right to live here
even if they don't immediately get a permanent green card.
That's about all they really care about and are seeking anyway.
Practically speaking, there is little difference. The right
to be a legal worker who several years later can get a green
card is sufficient enticement for millions upon millions more
illegal aliens to flood this country.
