RUMORS OF YEAR END AMNESTY ONLY RUMORS
For months rumors have been circulating that there will be an amnesty granted to those people who are unlawfully present in the US when the year 2000 begins. These rumors are only that, rumors, and there is no planned visa or amnesty for the end of the year. Indeed, a far-reaching amnesty like that of 1986 appears extremely unlikely, and no one should rely on the possibility of one. The US is not the only place such rumors abound. The British embassy in Pakistan has issued an official statement debunking the notion that anyone inside the Millennium Dome in London at midnight on New Year’s Eve will be given British citizenship or residency.  |
