Supporters of comprehensive immigration reform, including fellow Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), said they were pleased with his announcement.

Those working on a Senate immigration bill certainly seemed to think Paul had indicated support for such a pathway. Graham, a member of the so-called "gang of eight" working on a bill, said he and Paul had spoken "briefly" about a pathway to citizenship, but not extensively. The South Carolina senator is a strong supporter of a path to citizenship and argues no immigration bill will go into law without one. He said he was glad to see Paul seemingly agree.
"The fact that he embraces it as a logical solution to a tough problem is very positive for the party, very positive, I think, for solving the problem overall," Graham told reporters. "It was welcome news."
