WASHINGTON – Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., the winner of the Conservative Political  Action Conference straw poll for 2016 only days ago, is denying an Associated  Press report that he supports a path to citizenship for illegal aliens.

The AP’s Erica Werner reported Paul told a Hispanic business group that  illegal aliens should be allowed to become U.S. taxpayers and ultimately get a  shot at citizenship.

However, Paul told the Washington Post, which carried the original story, the  reporting was inaccurate.

“I didn’t use the word citizenship at all this morning,” he said. “Basically  what I want to do is to expand the worker visa program, have border security and  then as far as how people become citizens, there already is a process for how  people become citizens.”
