GOP Rep Explains How DACA Recipients Would 'Earn' Citizenship With His Bill

Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA) wants to see his USA Act reach the House floor for a vote. Short for the Uniting and Securing America Act, the bill would give DACA recipients a path to citizenship.
The USA Act represents a real bipartisan compromise that will provide a permanent legislative solution for Dreamers. Broader than just DACA recipients, the USA Act applies to all Dreamers. With a legally-defined status, these individuals would be able to remain in America while working towards full citizenship. This means they could continue to work, pursue a degree, enlist in our military and otherwise fully plan their lives without the fear that their futures could be destroyed by an administrative decision.

Nope, try another way. And it cannot end with citizenship. The only exception I can think of is the unquestionable competency in the English language and serving at least 3 years in the US military.

Sounds like a reasonable first step - but only if the bill includes real, additional funding for border security. I like the proposal to increase the number of immigration judges. Deportees need to be afforded due process, and backlogs in the courts serve no one's interests.

Why does someone deserve what you call 'due process' if one broke the law to come into this country?
Due process is a right reserved for citizens.

I believe the Supreme Court has granted due process to anyone in the US.
citizen or not
