When i was 17 years old i had a summer job at bakery in new york city. in that bakery working alongside me were a bunch of guys from a province south of mexico city, called pu, bla. i would stay up all night with them, theyd help me be the baking and theyd help me get better with spanish. because i worked with them, i learned something i hadnt known until i started this job, all of them actually had social security numbers. way it generally works in this countrys vast gray labor market is unauth...

However, i do not understand how if you came here illegally, dishonorably you should have the honor of being an american citizen. give them residency. i am not saying dont give them residency, but a million people managed to come here legally and it is really hard and it is really, really tough. >> i think we need to separate the discussion between citizenship and work visa. i am talking about work visa here. make it as easy to come here and work. >> the fox news poll says there should be a path...

In essence were not awarding anybody anything. all were doing is giving people the opportunity to eventually earn access to our new, improved and modernized legal immigration system. >> so what youre talking about is a ten to 13-year minimum before you can even get a green card. so my question is let me take it from the other side, why bother? if you are in the united states undocumented but you have been able to somehow secure a social security number, youre somehow working, why would you step ...

Around the p word, as rand paul did last week. >> this whole immigration debate gets into these check the box and new pathway to citizen, check the box, amnesty or no amnesty. i think thats trapping us into something that makes the debate too simple. im not offering a new pathway to citizenship. im simply saying you can get a work visa and you can get in the normal line. im not creating a new line for citizenship. im just saying you can get in the current line that exists. >> well discuss the go...
