What does "put on a path to citizenship" mean?
Will they be required to apply for it as Jarhead suggests?
Or will they simply be allowed to apply for it, like any and every other legal resident?
IMO, those two are very different.
If they dont have to leave ,Its amnesty .
I don't think that's the way its being defined by our esteemed representatives.
They're giving "amnesty" from being prosecuted for being in the USA illegally (as if that matters, since, as Willow pointed out so.......erm.....eloquently, they'll never be prosecuted anyway).
So "Amnesty" is really sort of a silly formality.
CITIZENSHIP is really the point.
Republicans could pick up one hell of a powerful voting block if they'd stop being stupid about this.
