Ah, so this is going to be part of the spin too. The eternal question in right-wing immigration debates: What constitutes “amnesty,” exactly? Is it *unilateral* legalization for illegals, with no security concessions from Democrats in return, or is it any deal in which illegals are legalized regardless of how much security border hawks receive in exchange? To most righties, I think, “amnesty” means nothing more or less than “a bad immigration deal.” If they get something they really want as part of it, like funding for the wall, then legalizing DREAMers isn’t really amnesty (or, more specifically, it’s amnesty but an amnesty worth doing). If they get rolled, though? Amnesty. Watch Trump below and tell me he isn’t using the word in exactly that sense. We’re looking at letting DREAMers stay, he says, but we’re not looking at “amnesty.” Uh, what?
He also says he’s not considering citizenship for DREAMers. Oh really? Someone should let his communications team know that:
