Rubio, speaking to Fox, endorsed Trumps points on law enforcement and making the immigration system more merit-based. After movements on those two fronts, Rubio suggested, then you can do something very reasonable with the people who have been here a long time who are not gang bangers, who are not criminals, who are not a threat to public safety.
As a member of the bipartisan Gang of Eight, Rubio pushed a comprehensive immigration reform bill in 2013 that ultimately passed the Senate but not the House, though he later walked back his support for some of its provisions. Alongside other points, the 2013 bill would have created a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.
Trump addressed the question of immigration at his generally well-received address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, after some speculation that he would endorse comprehensive reform, possibly including a path to legal status for some undocumented people. Trump did not call for that in his speech, but talked about the need for greater enforcement of immigration law and reform of the U.S. system into a merit-based one, while still presenting illegal immigration as a threat to the country.

Alexander, Corker, Graham, Flake, Heller, Hatch, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain and Rubio all voted for the Gang of Amnesty and should be removed from office.
Rubio and the rest of you RINOS, get this--
THEY ARE, IN FACT, CRIMINALS.
Anyone who comes into the country illegally is A CRIMINAL.
It will work out just fine.
We’ll continue to round up felonius immigrants, those who are currently under deportation process and second DUI types.
Then will strengthen workplace laws and enforcement.
But, the big one will be when they reduce H1B visas. There aren’t that many more intelligent workers coming from India, China and other countries.
Americans can do those jobs and will now have the opportunity.
No more “refugees.” Let them fix their own countries that they and their ignorant “religion” of islam has destroyed.
Deport all illegals now.
Yeah I agree plus Sessions. Rubio is a con artist trying to seize the moment.
It they want to reform aspects legal immigration, then go for it. But it is stupid for anyone who thinks the law should be enforced to start negotiating improvements in legal immigration with any aspect of how illegal aliens are handled.
and it's a big factor in why he wasn't the nominee.
Those no access to government services exist now for legal immigrants. They’re also ignored all across the country every single day. It wouldn’t be any different for the amnesty illegals.
So whats in it for them to become legal then and so why would they want to become legal? Free stuff and you don't have to pay for it (in the form of SS taxes). A win-win.
Plus, you have no obligation to the United States and you can still keep your full citizenship with your home country.
What reform? Build the damn wall!
