Rand Paul has repeatedly denied that he has proposed a pathway to citizenship. He has insisted that he supports a pathway to legal status.
Weasel words by someone who is more and more sounding like John McCain on this issue.
The truth is, he removes the illegality of the Illegals, thereby granting them Amnesty.
By doing that, the Illegals, if they choose to seek it, can get in line LEGALLY to become citizens.
This IS the pathway to citizenship for everyone.
So he is lying both when he does not support Amnesty or a pathway to citizenship, because that's EXACTLY what his plan does.

It’s hard to tell, SoCon. It would be easy enough for a lawmaker to insist that any legal status immigrant in this country must return to the country of origin to apply for citizenship and there is no way around.
They could write the law that way if they wanted to.

By doing that, the Illegals, if they choose to seek it, can get in line LEGALLY to become citizens. What if they don't want to be citizens, but just want to come here and pick tomatoes for half the year? Should we deny people who want to come here and work the ability to do so? If so, why?

“Weasel words.”
That they are. If you have to parse them, as folks here are doing with the energy of dervishes, then they’re weasel words. The native tongue of the politician.
