America is a nation of legal immigrantsFixed.
BTW, it appears Senator Paul is not locked into a position of absolutely opposing citizenship for current illegal aliens.
Without using the phrase, Paul appeared to confirm to reporters that he does support a path to citizenship after a probationary period.
“You have an option to get in the line, and you get a work visa if you want to work,” Paul said when asked if he supports a path to citizenship.
Paul rejected the idea of deporting undocumented immigrants or immediately giving them citizenship. Instead, he argued for a probationary status.
“The solution doesn’t have to be amnesty or deportation — a middle ground might be called probation where those who came illegally become legal through a probationary period,” Paul said.
Paul also said his team is in talks with the Gang of 8, but it isn’t the “gang of eight plus one” … yet.
Byron York notes that Paul’s plan calls for border security, verified by Congress in an annual vote, before any path to citizenship is on the table.
How are masses of people arriving from Ireland and England on ships to New York “legal”? Please explain that to me.
