Thread: Bob Goodlatte backs ‘earned’ citizenship Amnesty for DREAMer illegal aliens

At a GOP Conference Hispanic Heritage event last week, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) laid out a plan to legalize the 12 million illegal aliens currently in the country.

Though he says it is not a "special path," Goodlatte's amnesty plan skirts federal law to give illegal aliens eventual citizenship. Current law generally prohibits illegal aliens from obtaining a green card, and if illegal aliens leave and apply from outside of the country, they must wait 3 or 10 years before they can be admitted depending how long they were in the country unlawfully. (Immigration and Nationality Act §§ 245(c), 212(a)(9)(B)) Interestingly, this plan is also nearly identical to a portion of the now-defunct House Gang of Seven's "comprehensive" immigration bill that was leaked back in July.

Obama Says House 'piecemeal' Approach Acceptable If It Includes Pathway To Citizenship For Undocumented

Republicans in the House have rejected the Senate's comprehensive bill on immigration reform and pursued small, single-action bills instead. President Barack Obama said that approach was acceptable as long as the series of bills resolved "central issues", including extending a path to citizenship for the nation's undocumented immigrants, streamlining the legal immigration system, securing the border, and ensuring employers don't hire workers illegally.
