I know what amnesty is. These are not amnesty. Undocumented immigrants already in the country would not get to cut to the front of the line. but. in accordance with the committees bipartisan plan. will need to pay fines. pay back taxes. work hard. and wait in line for green cards. They have to pass background checks and play by the rules. With fines and hard work and going to the back of the line. after 11 years. by following a regular path to legal status. the currently undocumented will join as full participants in American society. Following this plan. we could create an orderly system for immigration that is consistent with traditional American values and our history. Opponents of a fair. comprehensive approach are quick to claim that anything but the most punitive provisions are amnesty. They are wrong.
