do you think it s going go by the stage by stage, step by step, this he s actually been talking about before? well, if you read carefully what the republican conference came up with yesterday, some of the principles they came up with, there may be some wiggle room there for a compromise solution that will satisfy both sides. not necessarily completely but will get to prove the process closer. what the republicans are proposing is enabling these 11 million or 12 million to apply for legal status in the united states, letting the children grow up here that. i would have that direct pathway to direct citizenship but letting the adults at the same time perhaps not necessarily immediately have that path way to citizenship but they could go to tend of the line and start with documentation process. so it s a little bit more complex, a little bit more difficult, but at least the 11 million or 12 million people in the united states that are now undocumented, they would have
