5. REP. DARRELL ISSA (R-CA) February 6, 2013
“I think all of us Republicans know that we don’t want a class of residents that will never be offered an opportunity for citizenship.

6. REP. RAUL LABRADOR (R-ID) March 20, 2013

9. REP. PETER KING (R-NY) June 5, 2013
“‘If you’re here legally, there should be a path to citizenship and so to that extent we’re on the same page.’ King clarified the comment Tuesday to the Daily News, specifically the ‘here legally’ qualifier, stating that he backs a path for country’s roughly 11 million otherwise law-abiding undocumented immigrants.”

12. REP. DAVID VALADAO (R-CA) July 1, 2013

13. REP. JEFF DENHAM (R-CA) July 9, 2013
“I am concerned with the Republican Party from a national perspective. We have very diverse districts around the entire nation, and I think how we handle the overall immigration issue could have dramatic impacts to the future of the Republican Party. …I think the Senate’s done a good job.”

14. REP. JAMES LANKFORD (R-OK) July 10, 2013
“I wouldn’t prohibit forever (people from getting citizenship). I’m a Christian, and restitution and reconciliation’s a big deal. If you do something illegal or inappropriate you should be able to resolve that, face the penalty, clear it and be forgiven.”

17. REP. JOE HECK (R-NV) July 19, 2013
“I’ve said, and I’ve always said, that I think a tough but fair pathway to earned citizenship that doesn’t allow anyone to jump to the front of the line, that has certain benchmarks that need to be met, like the ability to show that you can support yourself and your family, that you can speak English, that you have a clean criminal and national security background check, that I would support those.”

18. REP. DEVIN NUNES (R-CA) July 23, 2013

19. REP. MIKE COFFMAN (R-CO) July 24, 2013
“(Coffman) believes comprehensive immigration reform — increased border security and a provisional legal status for the millions of undocumented people living in the United States now — needs to happen mostly simultaneously. Then, when it has been proven the border is secure a pathway to apply for legal citizenship should be opened for all undocumented people, he said.”

20. REP. DANIEL WEBSTER (R-FL) August 4, 2013

21. REP. AARON SCHOCK (R-IL) August 5, 2013
“I think that at some point, when the border is secured and people pay their taxes and they haven’t committed any violations of laws. They have been here for a provisionary period, then they can apply for citizenship.”

23. REP. MARK AMODEI (R-NV) August 14, 2013

24. REP. SEAN DUFFY (R-WI) August 20, 2013
"Most people come here to work," he said at a town hall meeting, according to the Sawyer County Record. "Most are Hispanics and work hard at tough jobs. We can’t send 11 million people back home. We should put them on a path to citizenship." http://www.alipac.us/f12/sean-duffy-immigration-put-them-path-citizenship-288309/#post1369307

25. REP. JASON CHAFFETZ (R-UT) August 21, 2013
“There should be a pathway to citizenship, not a special pathway and not no pathway, but there has to be a legal lawful way to go through this process that works and right now it doesn’t.”

26. REP. CHRIS STEWART (R-UT), September 4, 2013
QUESTIONER: “Chaffetz said he agrees with the path to citizenship, not a special path and not no path, would you second that?”
STEWART: “I think that’s exactly right.”

27. REP. TED POE (R-TX) April 11, 2013
Now, Poe not only will discuss other immigration issues, but is going head-on against many of his fellow conservatives in his decision to support a path to legal status for the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country.
