so is amnesty for committing crimes only given to rich white men, like Scooter Libby who was convicted of three different felonies?

While you're just kidding, let me clarify a little anyway. Libby was given a pardon, not amnesty. While almost the same it is different. He has served our country for many years and received his pardon likely as a result of that. What have the illegals done for our great nation to deserve to have their crimes wiped clean, besides milk us for all we're worth?

While we are clarifying let me clarify a little more. Libby was not pardoned his sentence was commuted.
Commutation is not the same as a pardon.
Commutation of sentence involves the reduction of legal penalties, especially in terms of imprisonment. Unlike a pardon, a commutation does not nullify the conviction and is often conditional.

Yes, but the rumor is the pardon will come by the end of the President's term.

I would imagine that every employer out there that has hired these illegals is VERY GREATFUL to them and the workloads they have accomplished for them at a cheap rate, allowing them to profit, and not lose their business to an overseas business.

but me, i don't give a hoot, they are illegal and that's that!

I stand corrected but this does nothing to change the premise of my post, which was to indicate the difference between the treatment Libby received in comparison to amnesty for illegals. Libby is an American who served his country for many, many years. The illegals broke a crime with their first breath in our country and don't deserve to benefit from it by being given amnesty. On served our country while the other leeches from us.
