"Some temporary workers will make the decision to pursue American citizenship. Those who make this choice will be allowed to apply in the normal way."
"This program will offer legal status, as temporary workers, to the millions of undocumented men and women now employed in the United States,"
Read the critical qualifying phrase... "as temporary workers". Not as citizens, not as permanent resident aliens (green card holders). Big difference. He is just saying that, with a guest worker visa, they will be able to legally work here.
"Some temporary workers will make the decision to pursue American citizenship. Those who make this choice will be allowed to apply in the normal way."
Once again, read the qualifying phrase - "in the normal way". This indicates that they will not get preference. They will have to wait for a green card and go through the same naturalization process that everyone else goes through. And you left out the very next sentences - perhaps intentionally?
"They will not be given unfair advantage over people who have followed legal procedures from the start. I oppose amnesty, placing undocumented workers on the automatic path to citizenship. Granting amnesty encourages the violation of our laws, and perpetuates illegal immigration. America is a welcoming country, but citizenship must not be the automatic reward for violating the laws of America."
