Texas Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz have filed a number of amendments to the immigration bill being considered by a Senate committee on Thursday.
Both are pushing for more border security. Cruz wants to strip any possibility of citizenship for 11 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Cornyn is offering language to make it especially hard for people convicted of crimes to take advantage of the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” immigration overhaul plan.
One of Cruz’s amendment takes direct aim at that bill’s “path to citizenship” provision, the central point of contention. His change says that no person shall be eligible for citizenship who has been “willfully” in the U.S. and without legal status.
The criteria for “willfully” are not defined.
