So I think there is an appropriate way to address this. but it is not by an amnesty. I call it an amnesty because. basically. there is no reconciliation process. In other words. when a person makes a mistakeand we all make mistakes and we all understand the aspirations and hopes immigrants bring to the United States because they come here for the same reason people have historically come here. and that is for the American dream. We understand that. But we also understand that when somebody has made a mistake. they need to own up to it and they need to reconcile themselves to lawful authority because. otherwise. the attitude is the law doesnt matter. and it is the law that protects all of us no matter who we are. where we come from. or how we pronounce our last name.
