AMNESTY:
1. A general pardon for offenses against a government
2. An act of forgiveness for past offenses, esp. to a class of persons as a whole
3. Forgetting or overlooking any past offense
Amnesty would be rewarding the invaders with the very thing they sought when they broke into our country...amnesty. Of course, they also sought good paying jobs, a smorgasbord of public services and benefits, health care and free education. But, the ultimate prize they are seeking is amnesty, which legitimizes their illegal presence and absolves them of their past and ongoing crimes.
BTW: don't let them claim that having them pay a fine makes it not amnesty. That has no bearing on the definition of amnesty. Also, don't let them claim that by not providing citizenship, it makes it not amnesty. That has no bearing on it either.
Then ask him how the Feinstein amendment does not apply to the above.
