Do we all understand how 'stealth' amnesty works?

Quiet Amnesty

Openly supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants may still be a loser. In ever-adaptable Washington, the latest approach is, "Let’s do it, but not talk about it."
Under its new secretary, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seems correctly poised to deal with Mexican militants in drug cartels and thereby slow the flow of illegal border crossings. The flip side is that deportation enforcement may wane against those who have already entered the U.S. unless they commit new and serious criminal acts.
That becomes amnesty by non-enforcement, even though the same immigration laws remain on the books.
Here is one very possible goal of the Obama administration that can be deduced from their actions and appointments: Only one side of illegal employment transactions is targeted, as employers who knowingly hire illegals are prosecuted but the illegal workers escape any consequences. And those companies would have an out: So long as they pay "good" wages to the illegal workers, companies would get a pass.
Rather than ask Congress to change the laws, the Obama Administration can do this by changing how laws are interpreted and enforced. That avoids headlines; Members of Congress avoid messy debates; and phone lines aren’t clogged with calls from angry citizens (as they were during the 2007 debate over "comprehensive immigration reform").
=============================
Our Immigration Law is clear. Stealth Amnesty is NOT what I want, but the real question is… Is this what the American People want?

They get around the law and we the middle class pay for their Stealth Amnesty. In a word No, we do not want any amnesty, stealth or not
Ah, didnst read yor whole article there, but tah way ah, understands is "they STEALTHILY legalize 2o millions of illergals now, then those 2o millions will STEALTHILY bring in 30 million of illegals more into U.S.-that`s about how "Stealthy amnesty" works…Am ah, raght `bout it?.
The text above says:
"And those companies would have an out: So long as they pay "good" wages to the illegal workers, companies would get a pass".
From where did the person got to the conclusion that by paying "good" salaries to illegals, they will get a free "pass"?
Sounds like no sense to me.
there will be no aMNESTY OF ANY KIND. OBAMA IS GOING AFTER EMPLOYERS WHO HIRE ILLEGALS. HE HAS CRACKED DOWN ON GETTING ILLEGALS BUSTED. sorry, caps got stuck
I have seen companies that hire the majority illegals, and this is not going to change no matter who is in office. It is just too bad that when American citizens get laid off for nothing they cant go to China, Mexico, or Korea where American companies "move the jobs". or factories, or "plants". I think it’s great though. Eventually there will be more non citizens in the US than citizens, and the rich people that benefit from these will really enjoy the crime wave when people become too desperate. It’s already happening now. And the people that blame the "drug cartels" or drug problems solely on Mexico are hilarious. It doesn’t matter how clear our immigration laws are, they will never be followed anyway. Like our TAX LAWS and our "OPEN DOOR POLICY AT WORK" laws and our Injured Worker laws.:)
