am·nes·ty [am-nuh-stee] noun, plural -ties, verb, -tied, -ty·ing.
noun 1. a general pardon for offenses, esp. political offenses, against a government, often granted before any trial or conviction. 2. Law. an act of forgiveness for past offenses, esp. to a class of persons as a whole. 3. a forgetting or overlooking of any past offense.
verb (used with object) 4. to grant amnesty to; pardon.
You see, the bill does provide amesty as it legalizes the immigrants' act of crossing over the border illegally. No, they are not "citizens" until they pay, but their past crimes are basically overlooked and will CONTINUE to go UNPUNISHED - ergo AMNESTY, jag.
