Sessions: I’ve Not Taken a Position that Would Support Citizenship for Those Who Have Entered Illegally
EXCERPT:
CRUZ: "So my understanding is, as of September of 2017, there are 689,800 individuals currently with the DACA registration. There have been estimates done that there are nearly 2 million potentially eligible DACA recipients in the country. In your personal judgment, should those nearly 2 million people here illegally in this country be eligible for United States citizenship?"
SESSIONS: "My best judgment that I’ve expressed over the years that someone who enters a country unlawfully, if they’re given some sort of legal status, a normal legal status, should not get everything that would flow to people who properly wait their time and enter lawfully. So I’ve not taken a position that would support citizenship for those who have entered illegally."
