It's still amnesty

Regardless of what they call it, allowing illegal immigrants to stay in this country is amnesty. It's wrong.

From the Los Angeles Times:
The proposal announced Monday will incorporate the substance of about two dozen amendments adopted when the Senate debated the bill for two weeks this year. The core of the legislation has become known as the "grand bargain." Under the plan, opponents agreed to provide many illegal immigrants now in the United States a path to citizenship in return for a restructuring of the immigration system to give greater weight to education and job skills, rather than family ties.

Reid pulled the legislation from the floor June 7 in a dispute with Republicans over how many amendments could be debated. He announced last week that he and GOP leaders had reached an agreement permitting each party to introduce about a dozen more amendments.
