What is Amnesty? Will the United States grant amnesty in the near future?

Amnesty is a kind of pardon, which refers to the system that the head of state or the highest organ of state power exempts unspecified criminals from prosecution or execution of punishment within a certain period of time. Amnesty has a wide scope of application, which can be applied to all criminals who have committed certain crimes within a certain period of time, and is not limited to specific people. Amnesty is also more effective than Amnesty, not only exempting the execution of punishment, but also eliminating the crime, that is, not only the punishment can be pardoned, but also the crime can be pardoned. After the Amnesty, the criminal responsibility of the person will be completely eliminated. Those who have not been prosecuted shall not be prosecuted; If the case has been prosecuted, the prosecution shall be revoked; People who have suffered and been sentenced should be declared invalid. Therefore, no matter who is pardoned, the pardoned crime cannot be used as a reason for having a criminal record and recidivism. Ancient feudal emperors in China often pardoned prisoners in the name of kindness. For example, when an emperor ascended the throne, changed his country name, established a queen, established a prince, and so on, pardons were often issued. After liberation, there were also amnesties and pardons (mainly for war criminals and political criminals like Puyi).

Now this kind of amnesty no longer exists in democratic countries. The recent Amnesty in the United States refers to the granting of nationality to some people who illegally immigrated to the United States as children.
