I saw a news interview of Rep Trey Gowdy, who also — to my great surprise and disappointment — indicated his openness to a path to citizenship or some such catch-phrase indicating that he, too, apparently cannot be depended on in this legislative battle for the survival of this country.
You may be right, but a path to citizenship is not in itself a bad thing. However, the path should be the same path everyone else has to take to get there. Application to the State Department for visa, (genuine) green card, education into the US system of governance, proof of ability to support self and any family, and passing a test. No short cuts.
