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.
Your closing quote is not proof that Senator Sanders approves of the “path to citizenship” in the current bill, only that he approves of a path to citizenship.
