Are ya'll for or against such a plan ?
Here is my problems with this - and always has been with Clinton, Bush's, Obama and Trump ........... it rewards for being here illegally #1 but #2, it doesn't do anything to stop future illegals. Reagan did the amnesty thing - and our Govt has failed its citizens miserably.
Clinton, Bush, Obama didn't stop this massive problem, Trump didn't nor did any of the Congress's in the past 25 years
Part of me says amnesty is a way to stop the illegals from being here. Sending them all back is another way. I'd like to see a hefty fine for each person staying and claiming citizenship - a compensation for the years of being here illegally. That'd offset some of the massive costs that's going to be needed to stop all future illegally here people
If I knew, 100%, that they would stop 95% of all future illegally here people, I'd be on-board. But I know they won't , history shows us that

The White House on Tuesday reaffirmed that President Biden backs a controversial plan to create a pathway to citizenship to at least 11 million illegal immigrants -- as the White House and congressional Democrats are expected to formally unveil a sweeping immigration bill as soon as this week.
"There certainly is part of the proposal that the president outlined and proposed on Day One that is an earned pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the country," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said
A pathway to citizenship for all illegal immigrants in the country has long been a top item on liberal wishlists, and Biden promised such a plan if elected. Estimates generally put the illegal immigrant population at about 11 million, although others suggest that could be higher.
The proposal, sketched out by the administration on Inauguration Day, would include an 8-year path to citizenship for illegal immigrants -- a path that includes a five year path to a green card and a three-year path to citizenship after background checks and other steps.
It would also give farmworkers, along with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immediate green card eligibility. They would then be eligible for citizenship three years later.
The bill, which also includes provisions to stem the flow of migration by addressing root causes of migration from south of the border, as well as some border security measures, faces an uncertain path to becoming law -- particularly in the Senate, where it would need 10 Republican votes.
Republicans in that chamber have slammed the bill, with Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell calling it a "massive proposal for blanket amnesty that would gut enforcement of American laws while creating huge new incentives for people to rush here illegally at the same time."

As the nation's attention turns back to the fractured debate over immigration, it might be helpful to remember that in 1986, Ronald Reagan signed a sweeping immigration reform bill into law. It was sold as a crackdown: There would be tighter security at the Mexican border, and employers would face strict penalties for hiring undocumented workers.
