Caitlyn Jenner Supports Pathway to Citizenship for Illegals
Caitlyn Jenner Supports Pathway to Citizenship for Illegals

California's undocumented immigrants should have a path to citizenship, according to gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner.
"I would hope so," Jenner told CNN's Dana Bash. "I am for legal immigration, O.K."
Jenner, a famed Olympic male champion and now-transgender woman, said what is happening on the border was one of the primary reasons she decided to run for governor in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 2-1 margin.
"I was watching people dying come across the river, kids in cages – whatever you want to call them," she said.
Illegal immigrants should "absolutely" have a path to citizenship, she added.
"They should," she said. "Personally – I mean, there's a lot of people, but personally – I have met some of the most wonderful people who are immigrants, who have come to this country and they are just model citizens. They are just great people, and I would fight for them to be U.S. citizens and I think it would be the greatest day of their life."
But, on deportation, Jenner was equally absolute.
"The bad ones have to leave," she said, noting those with "criminal records, MS-13" gang members are among the "lot of bad people who are trying to cross our border illegally."
"I don't want those people in our country."
The full Jenner interview will air on "Anderson Cooper 360" on Monday night.
Jenner would pose a longshot Republican challenge to Gov. Gavin Newsom who faces a recall election, which has yet to be made official.
The recall would ask whether Californian's would like Newsom to continue as governor – yes or no – and then present the list of choices who they would like to replace him.

Caitlyn Jenner Backs Amnesty for Illegal Aliens: ‘Absolutely’

Caitlyn Jenner, a transgender woman who is now a California gubernatorial candidate in the likely recall election of Gov. Gavin Newsom, said in an interview that illegal aliens should have a pathway to citizenship.
“I am for legal immigration, okay,” Jenner said in an interview with Dana Bash set to air on CNN on Monday night. “What’s been happening on the border was honestly one of the reasons I decided to run for governor.”
“I was watching people dying come across the river, kids in cages — whatever you want to call them,” said Jenner, a reality TV star and former Olympic gold medalist.
“They should have a chance at citizenship?” Bash asked.
“Absolutely, yeah,” Jenner said. “They should. I mean, there’s a lot of people, but personally I have met some of the most wonderful people who are immigrants, who have come to this country and they are just model citizens.”
“They are just great people and I would fight for them to be U.S. citizens,” Jenner said.
Jenner was also asked about the deportation of illegal aliens.
“The bad ones have to leave,” Jenner said, referring to those with criminal records or gang affiliation.
“It’s a lot of bad people that are trying to cross our border illegally,” Jenner said. “I don’t want those people in our country.”
CNN published a preview of the interview that said, in part:
A late March survey by the Public Policy Institute of California showed that 85 percent of Californians say there should be a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants as long as they meet certain requirements, including 68 percent of the state’s Republicans.
“In the likely recall election, which has yet to be officially called or scheduled, all of the state’s voters will be asked two questions. The first will be whether they want to recall Newsom (yes or no); the second will be who they would like to replace him with, followed by a long list of candidates including Jenner,” the interview continued.
