Marco Rubio

Dept: Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who's among the bipartisan group of eight senators, known as the "Gang of Eight," writing a plan that's expected to come out Tuesday, tried to promote the framework for the emerging overhaul that would provide a path toward citizenship for those who came to the country illegally or overstayed their visit, according to Montreal Gazette. "We're not awarding anybody anything. All we're doing is giving people the opportunity to eventually earn access to our new, improved and modernized legal immigration system," said Rubio, a Cuban-American and WASHINGTON - A bipartisan deal on immigration reform legislation would need tough enforcement and even stricter penalties for those who came to the United States illegally, a leading Republican at the centre of negotiations said Sunday. While the deal does include a long and difficult process for the 11 million individuals in question, Rubio insisted the proposal does not include an "amnesty" provision that fellow conservatives have called a deal-breaker.
