After attaining that status, Goodlatte said they could then apply for legal permanent residence and eventually U.S. citizenship through avenues that are already available to foreigners: marrying a U.S. citizen, having a U.S. citizen relative petition for them or having a U.S. employer sponsor their application.

Why am I not surprised?
All of this is a tactic to decrease the number of eligible voters in the future. They're convinced that there are not enough potential CIR beneficiaries with ties to the country to become citizens through existing channels...after all aren't they eliminating certain family categories? And changing the employment rules?
And if this is what comes out of conference, the Democrats either kill it and look like they were never serious about CIR or just take what the Republicans are offering.
I guess it could be worse.
