While watching the Senate hearings today, I was noticing that the verbiage in the bill and amendments actually referred to amnesty. Look at the amendments and REALLY read them.

Many of them say "amnesty" here are a few:
Kyl amendment (SA 3970 [submitted for himself and Cornyn])
Summary: Prohibits an illegal alien from being eligible for amnesty if he/she: (1) is subject to a removal (except for removal solely on grounds of inadmissibility based on illegal entry, unlawful presence, or failure to maintain legal immigration status); (2) fails to depart during a period of voluntary departure; (3) has been convicted of a felony or at least three misdemeanors; or (4) has been determined by DHS to constitute a danger to homeland security or to have committed a serious crime outside the United States prior to his or her arrival, or the community of the United States. Authorizes DHS to waive these barriers to amnesty if an alien: (1) demonstrates that he/she did not receive notice of removal proceedings; or (2) establishes that his/her failure to appear was due to exceptional circumstances beyond the control of the alien (e.g., serious illness of the alien, serious illness or death of the alien’s spouse, child, or parent).

Grassley amendment (SA 3989)
Summary: Deletes confidentiality provisions that prevent DHS from using information contained in an alien’s amnesty application for purposes other than judging the merits of the application.

Grassley amendment (SA 3990)
Summary: Strikes a requirement for DHS to work to complete amnesty background checks within 90 days of receiving fingerprints.

Murkowski amendment (SA 3995)
Summary: Removes the prohibition on the granting of "earned legalization" amnesty before the earlier of: (1) eight years after enactment; and (2) the consideration of applications for immigrant visas submitted before enactment.
