Bethany Hall-Long: Supports clear path to citizenship for undocumented aliens

The AP reports that a clear path to citizenship and safety would have been in Democrats' $3.5 trillion spending bill, but Senate Parliamentarian ruled that the money can't be used to give millions of immigrants that chance.

Hall-Long listened to these womens' stories, and said she and the congressional delegation will fight and work diligently to help them.
