That is a flat out lie. Never has Paul said any such thing. In fact he has repeatedly stated No New Pathway to Citizenship
The PATHWAY to Citizenship lies in taking any such restrictions to court. There is no way the Supreme Court would allow a law that creates a category of people who are granted permanent residency with no opportunity to apply for citizenship. That would be tantamount to slavery.
Therefore any plan which makes illegal aliens permanent residents IS a PATH TO CITIZENSHIP.
Or are you just too dense to see that?
