"Some temporary workers will make the decision to pursue American citizenship. Those who make this choice will be allowed to apply in the normal way. They will not be given unfair advantage over people who have followed legal procedures from the start."

"Fair and Meaningful Citizenship Process: Some temporary workers will want to remain in America and pursue citizenship. They should not receive an unfair advantage over those who have followed the law, and they will need to be placed in line for citizenship behind those who are already in line. Those who choose the path of citizenship will have an obligation to learn the facts and ideals that have shaped America's history."

I was not speaking of preference in gaining citizenship.
Once they are legal I have no problem with them seeking citizenship, if that is their desire. I agree with the excerpts that they should not receive preference.

I was speaking of them receiving preference in becoming legal guest workers.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
