House Republicans Advocate Path, Not Pathway, To Citizenship
A central question Congress is wrestling with over the current proposed immigration legislation is whether the 11 million immigrants already in the United States illegally should get a path to citizenship.
And surprisingly, the answer from a small but growing number of House Republicans is "yes," just as long as it's not the "special" path advocated by Democrats and passed by the Senate.
"There should be a pathway to citizenship — not a special pathway and not no pathway," Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told ABC 4 Utah after speaking at a recent town hall meeting in his district. "But there has to be a legal, lawful way to go through this process that works, and right now it doesn't." More
If they think it is only 11 million, they are fools. I am sorry--these people broke our laws...if the politicians feel the need to let them stay, do not let them become citizens and be able to vote. Let them have permanent resident status--don't further reward them for breaking the law by giving them citizenship!
We have immigration laws and paths to Citizenship, and these people ignored them and broke the law. They need to go back to where they are legal, and get in line to start over.

ReplyDeleteGoogle Jason Richwine and his dissertation on Hispanic immigrants. The guy got railroaded and lost his job over it.
ReplyDeleteRe: Richwine. He calculates the cost of "path to citizenship": $6.3 trillion.
