Great post. Pat says in the Pence plan, "the illegals are made legal and put on a path to citizenship."

WTH is Pat lying? Anyone who's read the plan knows that's not true. In the Pence plan, anyone who legally becomes a guest worker is not ruled out from applying from citizenship, but is IN NO WAY PUT ON A PATH.

Pretty hard to tell the difference between pat and Ralph Nader these days.

"In the Pence plan, anyone who legally becomes a guest worker is not ruled out from applying from citizenship, but is IN NO WAY PUT ON A PATH."

Here illegally>>>>>>
leave and register in their country>>>>>>>>
come back as legal guest workers>>>>>>>
can then apply for citizenship.

Looks pretty straight forward to me.

Sure looks like a pathway to citizenship = amnesty.

Did I miss something?

Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance.

There also will be a limit on the amount of time a guest worker can spend in America. Guest workers will be allowed to renew their W Visas, but only for a period of up to six years. At that point, the guest should decide whether to return home or enter the separate process of seeking citizenship. We cannot have people coming to America as permanent guest workers. That is why having a six-year limit is important. It keeps the meaning of the word "guest" in guest worker.

This is amnesty portion of the program. The worker can apply for citizenship in the US without returning home. Presumably, they can continue working and living here while their status is being changed.

At the end of the six years, the W visa holders have the option of going home or seeking citizenship in the US. This allows them to stay in the country and obtain citizenship, probably via a green card. This was confirmed by Pence's spokesman, "After the third term, they have to apply for permanent legal residence or leave," said Matt Lloyd, a spokesman for Pence.
