For Immigrants In U.S. Illegally, Rubio Favors 'Very Long Path' To Citizenship
NPR ^ | 11/12/15 | Steve Inskeep

Posted on 11/12/2015 5:07:12 AM PST by jimbo123

Sen. Marco Rubio clarified his view on the 11 million immigrants, who are in the United States illegally. The day after a presidential debate, which exposed a continuing divide in the Republican Party on immigration, Rubio told NPR on Wednesday that he favors a path to citizenship for some, though the prospect would be very distant.

"If you haven't been here very long, or you're a criminal, you will be deported," Rubio told NPR's Morning Edition. "Otherwise, you will have to come forward, pass the background check, learn English, pay a fine, because you violated the law, start paying taxes, and you'll get a work permit. And that's all you're going to have for at least a decade."

Rubio went a step further. "After 10 years on the work permit, I personally am open to - after the 10 years have expired - to allowing people to apply for a green card, just through the normal process that anyone else would use."

Go home, and come back legally is the only way.

Rubio is too generous.
Illegal means ILLEGAL, i.e., lawbreaker.
Go to jail, go directly to jail.
Never become a citizen and after you finish your incarceration of 3 or more years you may leave by crossing the border out of my country.

No way to prove how long, pure b.s. No one would establish a cut off date. Rubio is being disingenuous.

For people in the border states who have dealt with illegals, this is a ridiculous pipe dream. Their idea is to squat in such numbers that they do what they want to and the stupid Gringo can like it or lump it. And politicians of both parties will bend over for this big new voting bloc and rescind any citizenship requirements of this fig leaf for amnesty.

... pay a fine, because you violated the law, start paying taxes

How big a fine is it if I kill somebody with my car while drunk?

This is the main reason that I will never support Rubio.

They’ve been using that 11M number since the early 2000s. Right now its more like 30-40M.

Trump has it right...you go back and then knock...like you should have done the first time.

They were talking about each illegals being entitled to a hearing. Fine...."Do you have papers?" No...out you go.

He can't say anything else but this...remember Schumer came out and said that Rubio came to him and wanted an amnesty bill, so Schumer got 4 republicans and 4 democrats and they are called the gang of eight on this bill....

Then when Rubio tried to back it down, Schumer came out with an article saying that Rubio came to him and wanted this...

Rubio now cannot take it back, and immigration is our biggest election push....if he can't handle this, then he should stand up and take the heat....

In the end it doesn’t matter if they get citizenship or not, as long as they are allowed to stay and are still fertile, they will be pumping out anchor babies.

The hearings are scheduled, and the illegals don't show up.

Here is what I favor: A huge wall, no matter what it costs. Employer penalties that hurt so bad they can bankrupt a business if they hire illegals. Deportation and incarceration for people who are deported and come back. And finally asset seizure for illegals. Seizing assets from them will cause mass self deportation with 6 months of fair notice.

Rubio is also the type that support very long lines of Muslim rapists marching their way through the heart of Europe at this very moment. Has he called to defend these people or is he complicit in their Genocide?

They want hearings so the media can do an endless parade of poor victim families. Look at the poor little children! Families can be kept together and deported TOGETHER.
