Republican House Members: We’ll Support Immigration Reform but No Path to Citizenship - Page 2

LOL This is the most outrageously childish behavior I've seen in a while from Republicans. I completely agree. Lets just get this passed first. Who says we can't pass more reforms in the future? All we need is right to drive, work, and travel correct? Also, to those saying they'll settle with a green card...what do you think a green card is? A green card by definition is permanent residency that gives you a shot at citizenship after five years I believe. Whatever plan the Republicans are brewing..I can tell you there is no green card involved at all. The most they could do for us is a DACA like status for EVERYONE. Not too sure how they'll compromise this deal out. Whatever their plan is...it will exclude either driving or traveling..something absurd like that.

Republicans are more worried about the semantics of Immigration Reform instead of the actual ideas. They would think twice about voting for something that sounds like "pathway to citizenship".

They are trying to warp the language (without changing anything) by adding "provisions to legalization" and emphasizing "legalization" without mention to the intended path.

I don't think most of the Republicans are even familiar with the process or the difference between green cards and citizenship.

I wouldn't doubt that.

I think RPI is good enough for now. Deal with the rest later. Whatever it takes to pass.

Why would anyone actually care about citizenship?

Seriously.


It means nothing. Hopefully democrats realize this and capitalize on the opportunity to bring people out of the shadows.

Maybe is nothing for me and you (and my parents basically) but to many others, citizenship is a identity, a sense of home and where they belong. And to be fare, that is what we all wants.

Plus, having US passport does let you go a lot of places without hassle.

I'd take a green card over citizenship right now without a second thought. 5 extra years for citizenship is nothing.

I just need the ability to travel as I please.
