U.S. reviving '86 amnesty program

[OvrAndOvrAgn]

Attempts to create an amnesty-with-penalty program may have failed in Washington last year, but the government has been offering a belated pardon to immigrants who tried to qualify for a program two decades ago and were either unfairly turned away or never received an answer.

It was a bad program, a bad idea, and created the mess we have today to a fair degree, IMO - but - if the mistake was ours, and not theirs, I'm OK with letting that small group get their amnesty.
