Some want to call it amnesty,” Boehner said in an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer. "I reject that premise. ... If you come in and plead guilty and pay a fine, that’s not amnesty."

Yes and No Mr Speaker.
Illegal entry is a crime punishable by jail time after you re-enter, so unless they face that jail time in front of a judge, it's amnesty. If they are promised no jail time, it's amnesty
Basically, what you propose is to go backwards and reduce the crime's punishment to less than it was when they broke the law (still breaking it today). That's an amnesty
The people don't care about the fines you plan to collect, but probably never will, because we don't profit from it one bit. And in no manner is it any mitigation for our losses due to illegals overrunning our communities, taking jobs and other opportunities, and competing with us for our services.
The people don't care about the money you say you'll collect from illegals for the back taxes they never paid, because once again, we never benefit from it one bit. We barely benefit from the money you collect from us, and we actually have to abide by the tax laws every year, and don't have the luxury of having every taxing agency look the other way if engaged in unreported commerce. And we know, Mr Speaker, that you won't collect any back taxes from them anyway, and in a few years, congress will have to have a tax amnesty for them just to correct all the problems that arise with 20 million people filing all those back tax forms awash in errors, unreadable forms, and fraud.
The people don't care about any admission of guilt either, because that doesn't earn us a thing back. Illegals don't have a conscience in regards to propriety. that's the very nature of illegality. they lie; they cheat, they perjure. they're here for the prize, which is to stay, work, and profit from their deed, which they will under your...amnesty. We already know they're guilty by their very presence here, so what's the point of a guilty plea? Do you think they're ashamed or remorseful about their deeds? If you do, you've been in washington and politics too long.
So Mr Boehner, it's not the money that makes it all right. If it was, every bank robber should be given the chance at your "not amnesty" proposal too. Release them all from jail and let them plead guilty and just pay a fine.
