There is some confusion in this thread, so it's best to remember what this entails:
Under the administration plan, illegal immigrants will be able to avoid deportation if they can prove they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED or served in the military. They also can apply for a work permit that will be good for two years with no limits on how many times it can be renewed.
There is no need to create or spread additional confusion on this. It is not amnesty, it is not a path to citizenship, and the immigration issue still requires a longterm legislative solution.
