The lefties at Media Matters reviewed this "Path to Citizenship" claim last year. Bush's proposals had not previously included a "path to citizenship".

Hume falsely claimed Bush proposed "path to citizenship" for illegal immigrants

Cite your source for Bush's message on immigration including a "Path to Citizenship" in 2004. So, Bush has lied, because he ran for re-election on "No Amnesty", and now it is Christmas for Illegals.

That is Bull! He mentioned a path to citizenship numerous times in his 2004 campaign stomps. The word amnesty is being used very conveniently to label this bill as something it is not. Amnesty would be to grant instant citizenship, something that this bill does not do. It gives otherwise law abiding people that have been working here and want a better life a chance to come out of the shadows, pay a fine and taxes and legally be here. It puts them on a path to citizenship if that is what they desire, but does not grant it to them, or even give them an advantage over other applicants.
