Rubio says legalization is going to happen ‘first’
Rubio says legalization is going to happen ‘first’
by THE BLOG on JUNE 10, 2013
The GOP members of the the Gang of Eight plan always said that border security would come first — that is, it would come before the legalization of illegal immigrants, or amnesty. It was Sen. Chuck Schumer that heralded that “first, people will be legalized … then, we will make sure the border is secure.”
So is the GOP claim that S. 744 is a Borders First plan actually the case? According to Sen. Marco Rubio the simple answer is: “no.”
The Florida member of the Gang of Eight told Univision that “legalization is going to happen,” and that it is going to happen “first.”
“Let’s be clear. Nobody is talking about preventing the legalization,” said Rubio. “The legalization is going to happen. That means the following will happen: First comes the legalization. Then come the measures to secure the border.”
The Heritage Foundation estimates that amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens would cost taxpayers 6.3 trillion dollars.
Senate members will take their first vote on the Gang of Eight immigration bill tomorrow afternoon, deciding whether or not they will invoke cloture on the motion to proceed.
