Amnesty is as good for those who give it as for those who receive it. It has the admirable quality of bestowing mercy on both sides.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is vital that Iraq and the United States together send the clearest possible signal that those who commit acts of violence against American military forces and American civilians will not be rewarded with amnesty.
I will support a path to citizenship if it does not fall within the definition of amnesty, and we've got to define what amnesty is in this country.
I'm not in favor of any amnesty whatsoever.
If there's amnesty leading to citizenship, I'm going to vote against it again.
Amnesty is a big billboard, a flashing billboard, to the rest of the world that we don't really mean our immigration law.
Amnesty is not the answer as it will only encourage more illegal immigrants to enter.
I support legal immigration. I don't support amnesty because it is not fair to people standing in line at consulates around the world.
Amnesty is the forgiveness of something. Amnesty is anything that says, 'Do it illegally, it will be cheaper and easier.'
Amnesty is a terrible policy, and it's terrible politics. It's a terrible policy because you are rewarding people for breaking the law.
I don't believe in amnesty... What I have proposed is that we would come forth with a program that allows individuals to come forward and to plead guilty... They would have to pay a fine; they would have to go through a background check - some say learn English - and they would get learned legal status.
