Ryan: I support a 'pathway to legal status'

House Speaker Paul Ryan iterated his support for a “pathway to legal status” for illegal immigrants Sunday, but opposed a pathway to citizenship, and also rejected the much more harsh immigration plan of GOP presidential primary front-runner Donald Trump.

“I think you could have a pathway to legal status … it’s a way to make amends with the law, effectively go on probation, and earn your way to legal status, but not to citizenship,” Ryan said on “60 Minutes.”
