- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should the US Federal Government Provide a Path to Citizenship for Undocumented Immigrants?"
- Reasoning:

“But surely, once policymakers agree that it is unthinkable to deport these workers or allow them to remain here in legal limbo, it should be possible to agree on a compromise—one that signals the nation’s seriousness about enforcing its laws but does not preclude long-term residents from earning citizenship.”
