House chairman sees possible immigrant citizenship Associated Press Copyright 2013 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Updated 8:31 am, Wednesday, February 27, 2013 WASHINGTON (AP) — A key Republican House chairman said Wednesday he sees the need to bring illegal immigrants already in this country into legal status, and perhaps allow some of them to eventually obtain citizenship — suggesting new potential common ground with a bipartisan group seeking to overhaul the nation's immigration policy. The Senate bipartisan group supports a more direct pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, though it would be conditioned on border security first, and President Barack Obama also wants eventual citizenship for illegal immigrants. Goodlatte declined to offer details of what a legalization program for illegal immigrants might look like, saying he didn't want to prejudge outcomes in the House, where his committee is in the midst of holding hearings on different aspects of the nation's immigration system, including employment verification and agriculture guest worker programs.
