When legislators talk about comprehensive legislation in regards to illegal immigration, they are talking about giving amnesty to the estimated twelve to twenty-five+ millions of people who have broken our laws, the first one being that of entering the country without our permission.
Somehow, comprehensive legislation sounds better than amnesty. Most people know what amnesty means, and it is opposed by the majority of Americans who, when polled, by an approximately 80% factor do not want amnesty. Indeed, they want our borders secure and employers of illegal aliens punished. They do, however, understand “guest worker” to mean that some workers may come here to work in available jobs, but must go back home, and do not enjoy the benefits that a citizen does. As used by some of our senators and congressmen, however, “guest worker” is interchangeable with amnesty.
