Amnesty is a pardon.

AMNESTY IS A PARDON.

Gov. C. Crist is pro-amnesty. He said he is the grand-son of an “immigrant” comparing his grand-parents to “illegal aliens” who did not “immigrate” to this country, but entered illegally or overstayed their visa.

His “punishment” for illegal aliens is they would “go to the back of the line” for citizenship how is the hell does that compare with those not here waiting in line? Those here are being rewarded while those waiting to enter legally are being punished. Going to the back of the line is a trip to the nearest court house.

Those that are here are not concerned about being citizens. All they want is legal status to stay here and work, etc and that is “amnesty.”

Crist talks out of both sides of his mouth when he way we are a nation of laws and law need to be enforced. Immigration reform mean removing the laws and not enforcing the laws.

When our immigration laws are broken, amnesty is not a punishment but a pardon. Since when do we pardon “federal crime”? Illegal entry into this country is a “federal crime.” Amnesty is a pardon.

White House: President Obama Can Not Pardon Undocumented Students
December 08, 2016 - White House spokesman Josh Earnest said President Barack Obama cannot use his clemency authority to legalize the immigration status of undocumented students.

Earnest said Thursday that is why the president was such a forceful advocate for legislation that would correct some of the injustices and implement some of the reform that would enhance our national security, improve the country's fiscal situation and obviously ensure that we treat people fairly." The response came after a group of 60 Democratic House members sent a letter urging Obama to pardon Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients for the offense of being in the United States illegally, the idea being to shield them from prosecution.

US President Barack Obama meets with a group of "dreamers" who have received Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) at the White House in Washington​

The DACA program started by Obama allows certain undocumented immigrants to the United States who entered the country as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit. More than 740,000 people have been approved for deportation relief under the program.

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to cancel all executive actions, memoranda and orders issued by President Barack Obama affecting the protection of immigrants who were brought to the country as children. Trump has labeled them "unconstitutional."
