Amnesty

So Bush has all this talk about immigration reform, about how its not amnesty. Well here is the definition of amnesty (Webster):

Amnesty - a forgetting or overlooking of any past offense

If someone is in this country illegally, they must have broken a law, and at least on paper, there is a punishment. So not only would offenses not be punished, they would be rewarded. So here is a new phrase we should use since amnesty appears to not quite capture the moment:

Platinum Amnesty

You heard it here first.
