John Edwards: path to citizenship for *everyone* living in the U.S.

From this (scroll) we get this self-evidently lunatic quote from John Edwards (9/17 Service Employees International Union political action conference):

"We're going to ensure that every single person living in the United States of America has a completely achievable path to American citizenship so that they don't live in the shadows."

It'd be nice if we still had reporters rather than simply transcriptionists. They could have first asked Edwards what he means by "living in the U.S.A." What timeframe does that imply? Could someone live here for a day and then get on the "path"? Or, would it have to be a few weeks or a few months?

Then, they could have told the hairhead about the tremendous pressure that would put on our borders by the millions and millions and millions more who would try to come here and live for however little time it takes to get on the "path".

Any reporter who talks to Edwards should ask him about that, and any reporter who talks to him about immigration matters but who fails to ask him about that is simply a hack. I suspect we'll see many examples in the coming weeks.
