I think we should be pushing for amnesty and a path to citizenship for every undocumented person residing in the United States who has not committed a violent crime, with a special emphasis on keeping families together.

Immigration reform is a must, an amnesty. So that's my position. I've been pushing that one since before it was popular.

— Dick Mountjoy

If you support amnesty, you should vote for the Democrats.

— Ted Cruz

If the undocumented have to work hard to attain citizenship, those of us who already are citizens should have to work hard to sustain it. We should all have to serve more, vote more, build more, and do more for our country.

— Eric Liu

I don't believe in amnesty... What I have proposed is that we would come forth with a program that allows individuals to come forward and to plead guilty... They would have to pay a fine; they would have to go through a background check - some say learn English - and they would get learned legal status.

— Chris Gibson

I think most Americans would agree that we need sensible solutions that fix our immigration system and deal humanely with aspiring citizens currently in our country. At the same time, these solutions must increase the security of our borders.

— Linda Sanchez

Immigration is a good thing. We should make that as easy as possible.

If there's amnesty leading to citizenship, I'm going to vote against it again.

— Frank Wolf

I do not favor or support, nor will I vote for, a pathway to citizenship for people that are here who've broken the law. I would support - after we have developed a secure border - a mechanism for allowing those folks to work here in America... Everything that we should do should be based on good, sound policy and what's right for America.

— Matt Salmon

I will support a path to citizenship if it does not fall within the definition of amnesty, and we've got to define what amnesty is in this country.

— Blake Farenthold

I think what we need to do is to have an immigration system where legal immigration is easier.
