So, you believe in amnesty for illegal immigration. Thanks for clearing
that up.

I believe in a path to legal residence, not amnesty. Those with a criminal
record (criminal, not misdemeanors) should not be eligible. All others
should be considered, perhaps made to pay a fine and some costs, but if they
have family and children here, allowed to become a resident and, eventually,
a citizen.

In other words, pretty much the plan of the Democrats and that of
organizations such as the NCLR.
