Have to meet a minimum residency requirement, right now, it looks like ten years. These are not people that are going to be leaving jobs because of their legal status change. You know what changes when an undocumented worker gets their green card. They take vacation time to see their relatives in their home countries, relatives that they haven't seen in years. That's what happens.

I support a path to citizenship because if you are paying taxes, which we are, documented or not, you should have a right to vote. The fact that the Democratic Party gains members is just icing on the cake.
