“Sanders is FOR amnesty i.e. the “path to citizenship” for illegal aliens.”

Your own reply contains the Senator’s quote, and it doesn’t say “THE path...”, rather it says “A path...”. That is a big difference because it doesn’t mean that he endorsed the scheme in the current bill.

Granted, but that seems beside the point. Why should illegal aliens have any “path to citizenship”?

Besides, Sanders does in fact support that aspect of THIS bill--- although he says "a" rather than "the", he is referring specifically to it; here is Sanders, in his own words:

It addresses the contentious and difficult issue of how we respond to the reality that there are some 12 million illegal immigrants in this country today, and carves out a path which eventually leads to citizenship, which I also support.
