"I support raising the quotas on certain population groups, like the Mexican nationals, on who can become a citizen. In order to solve the logjam for citizenship, Congress has got to raise the quotas."

So he wants to give ILLEGALS citizenship?

I guess that settles that debate.

It does not say that. It says raise quotas on citizenship. Citizenship is not "given". Applicants have to fulfill requirements including a period of residency and a test of about a dozen questions extracted from 100 possible questions -- all of which a typical applicant learns to avoid failing.

Here are the naturalization requirements for citizenship:

The link to the test is at the bottom of the screen. Look it over and think of what % of born citizens could pass it.
