One of the many "benefits" of amnesty — probably the biggest one — is keeping the cost of labor as close to zero as possible for the benefit of business. Both parties are looking for contributions from business, which is the big winner if this thing becomes law. But I do have a question about this whole mess that I hope somebody can help me with. If they don’t know who or how many illegal immigrants there are in this country — and they don’t — then how is it possible to grant them amnesty?
Do they just issue a "To Whom It May Concern" proclamation? Or, how about a blank certificate for the first 12 to 20 million who show up claiming amnesty? It would make the Gold Rush look like an old folks’ shuffle to the bathroom.
