Congress should create a one-time path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who admit violating the nation’s immigration laws but have no other criminal history, said Arnold-Jones, the Republican nominee for New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District seat in the U.S. House. “If you’ve been in our country illegally and you raised your hand and you have done everything to become a U.S. citizen, and you acknowledge that you broke the law, the consequence is withholding the right to vote even though you’re a citizen, because you cannot buy citizenship,” Arnold-Jones said.
