The first "they" obviously refers to the illegals. Everything after "their children" refers to the children of the illegals, including the part about being good citizens.
You are wrong. I saw it live when Diane Feinstein said this. She's a doddering old fool and due to a Freudian slip of the tongue called these illegals citizens. Subconsciously she considers them citizens. I call her senile based on her demeanor during the hearing, not just this
Read my post again. I'm not denying that she said what was quoted.

She may well have at some point, but she didn't in this quote.
Subconsciously she considers them citizens.
No doubt.
