## Transcript

Here are just a few examples, watch. Never support. Never have and never will support any effort to grant blanket, legalization, amnesty to folks who have entered or stayed in this country illegally. First of all, earned path decision Citizenship is basically code for amnesty is what they call it and in the reality it is this. It is unfair to the people that have legally entered this country to create an alternative pathways for individuals who entered illegally and knowingly did so. You cannot grant amnesty. The American people see as grant amnesty they will never again believe in legal immigration that will never again supported.

And that's wrong for our country bad for our future Within two years of getting elected, you were cosponsoring legislation to create a path to citizenship. In your words, amnesty. haven't you already proven that you cannot be trusted on this issue? You argued that this was just a poison pill amendment. Basically something designed to kill the bill and not actually get it through. But that is not, however, how it sounded at the time, watch. I want this bill to be voted down. I don't want immigration reform to fail, I want immigration reform to pass. I believe if this amendment were to pass, the chances of this passing into law would increase dramatically.

I believe if the amendments I introduced were adopted that the bill would pass. And my effort in introducing them was to find a solution that reflected common ground that fixed the problem. If the proponents of this bill actually demonstrate a commitment not to politics not to campaigning all the time. But to actually fixing this problem. To finding a middle ground that would fix the problem and also allow for those 11 million people who are here illegally a legal status with citizenship off the table. Was that all an act? It was pretty convincing.
