What is Ron Paul talking about (below) if not a form of amnesty?

Also, notice how Ron Paul is concerned about the human rights of 'immigrants' as he calls them below, but never mentions a word anywhere about the VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS that Steve talks about.

In Ron Paul’s own words:

"One side says use the US Army, round them up ship them home. The other side says give them amnesty... The first choice— sending twelve to fifteen million illegals home—isn't going to happen and shouldn't happen if each case is looked at separately, we would find ourselves splitting up families and deporting some who have lived here for decades, if not their entire life, and who have never lived for any length of time in Mexico. This would hardly be a Good Samaritan approach to the problem. It would be incompatible with human rights."

Adding what he said to this, I think it is pretty clear Ron Paul believes in what I call amnesty. If they are allowed to stay here after given some type of card because according to Ron Paul they can't and indeed should not be sent home, i call it amnesty.

So if we aren’t going to have deportations, interior enforcement, employer sanctions, or amnesty, what’s Ron Paul’s plan? He writes:

“Immigrants who can't be sent back due to the magnitude of the problem should not be given citizenship. Maybe a ‘green card’ with an asterisk could be issued. This in-between status, keeping illegal immigrants in limbo, will be condemned by the welfare left as too harsh and condemned by the confused right as being too generous. It will be said that it will create a class of second-class citizens. Yet it could be argued that it may well allow some illegal immigrants who come here illegal a benefit status without automatic citizenship or tax-supported benefits—as much better option than deportation."
