No one who knows this issue and cares about it can ignore rhetoric that includes phrases like “pathway to citizenship,” and clearly leaves the implication that most of the millions who have crossed our borders illegally are going to be allowed to stay here.
I understand the parsing of words in this case is ambivalent, but can't that "pathway to citizenship" be construed to mean, "MUST return to Mexico first and await the usual immigration protocol"?
Just sayin'.
FWIW, I'd prefer Palin to come out ablaze ala Tancredo.
