Ha! Are you kidding? You're actually making MY point!
Fox links to an article titled "Obama halts deportations of undocumented Haitian immigrants, urged to grant 'protected status'" but titles the story (and the direct link to it) "Obama Moves to Grant Amnesty to Haitian Illegal Aliens"
keep beleiving whatever it is you want to believe...
actually fox's title is based on the truth
look at the article from the daily news
"""The feds are being urged to go further and grant Haitians in the U.S. special status to stay here until conditions improve""""
""""Hong said awarding special status, allowing undocumented immigrants to work, would be a form of aid because they would send money to their families in Haiti.""""
S"""en. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) sent a letter to Obama urging him to give Haitians temporary protected status. "Now is certainly not the time to deport Haitians into an overly burdened country," she wrote.""""
facts are it would be an amnesty...temporary amnesty, but still an amnesty
you can spin all you want, the facts are right there
The NY Sun article headline says "Obama Halts Deportations..."
Fox News headline says "Obama Moves to Grant Amnesty..."
If you can't see that Fox News is a lying, scumbag organization, then the fault is yours.
first off, its the New York Daily News...not the sun
second the daily news even ARTICLE (not the headine,,,I know the left only understands headlines) states its nore thean 'halting deportations"
from the DAILY NEWS article

amnesty [ˈæmnɪstɪ]
n pl -ties
a period during which a law is suspended to allow offenders to admit their crime without fear of prosecution
(Don't blame me if some people read the headline of this comment and take away the wrong impression.)
I'm not saying that headline writing as shown by the OP is not pure sleaze. I'm saying that "some people" should read the whole story, and it isn't the fault of the news source if they don't.

it is not sleeze it is the truth. Read the definition of amnesty.
there is no lie there! Read a dictionary for once.
Definitions of Amnesty on the Web:
a period during which offenders are exempt from punishment
pardon: a warrant granting release from punishment for an offense
grant a pardon to (a group of people)
the formal act of liberating someone
so now this is a semantics argument?
that's great you looked up the dictionary definition. But we all know that in the context of illegal immigration, the word "Amnesty" is used to express a PERMANENT status.

Just because you personally think of something a certain way does not make it that way. That word is used for all sorts of things, not just immigration. The definition is the definition, it is not semantics. Use your liberal education that you guys tout so much. Or lack thereof....

LOL.
The ability to speak and understand the English language is now "semantics".
You can't make this stuff up.
