After stating that she hopes President Trump is open to immigration reform, Pelosi was asked about whether she could live with a path to legal status for people in the country illegally. She answered, I think its more what our country is about. We have criticized other countries that said we utilize you as a workforce, but youre not fully present in our country. In my view, its very important for us to say the path to citizenship is the dignity that these people .

She added, [I]f its something that forbids citizenship, no, I couldnt sign on to that. If we want to talk about I think there are plenty of ways we can work in a bipartisan way on immigration. In fact, we have to.

When asked about a plan that would give legal status initially, and a potential path to citizenship down the road, Pelosi answered, Its always just a path. All weve talked about is a path to citizenship. But to be a country that says, we have not even second-class citizenship, because it isnt citizenship, its just not respectful, and not worthy of our country.
