That's what I thought the answer is...
So no reef, giving them a Visa is still rewarding them for committing the crime, not forgiving them. They commited a crime and get something others have to wait and get.
Now, that said, once the Federal Government actually shows legitimate efforts at enforcing immigration laws then personally I would be willing at looking at a compromise type bill that protects the border, reforms the immigration process, and deals with what to do with those illegally in this country and a potential path to citizenship.
But not until we start to actually regularly enforce the laws...in part to see realistically what the likelihood is in regards to deportation and the possible economic hit. Right now its all theoritical and I refuse to just say "give them all amnesty because its not possible" when we aren't even attempting to uphold our laws. Once we start upholding them then we can make an educated decision on what to do. Not before.
Oops, you forgot to wait for my answer. It is all in the other post I made. It is forgiveness since i am reforming immigration law.
