As my tagline says, giving them citizenship while allowing them (ilegals) to live and work here is pushing them to the front of the line, so Rubio and Ryan are outright lying.

This song and dance seems to be aimed at poorly informed constituents (and congresscritters who want to pretend that they are "against amnesty" of course).

No dice, not unless it’s double secret probation.

Back in 2007 Bush, McCain, Tony Snowe all used those same argument as Ryan/Rubio are now, that paying a fine (back taxes???) and some probation period magically made a Green card and citizenship into something other than amnesty.

But clearly if they get to still stay here and get citizenship or even a green card that is a jump ahead.
Those waiting in other countries the legal way will be losing out to them. they wont be getting EITC and instate tuition discounts and minority Affirm Action status and on., while outside the country.

Now it is true that family members get a jump ahead too under the current system. That is a flaw.
