Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho) warned on Thursday that he won’t vote for a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and neither will his fellow House Republicans, a bad sign from someone who is considered one of the more pro-reform Republicans in the chamber. “The people that came here illegally knowingly —- I don’t think they should have a path to citizenship,” he said on NPR, according to Talking Points Memo . “If you knowingly violated our law, you violated our sovereignty, I think we should normalize your status but we should not give you a pathway to citizenship”/ Elise Foley , Huffington Post.
