Well, that is more or less what he admitted. Those ads they keep playing on Limbaugh's show about the "conservative" plan to fix immigration supported by Rubio and Paul Ryan? Those are all lies too. Classic astroturf organization. Their "conservative plan" is amnesty and open borders.

In a Spanish-language interview Sunday with the network Univision, Sen. Marco Rubio said that legalization of the nationâs 11 million currently illegal immigrants must happen before any new border security or internal enforcement measures are in place, and will in no way be conditional on any security requirements. (Photo: Examiner file) In a Spanish-language interview Sunday with the network Univision, Sen. Marco Rubio, the leading Republican on the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform group, made his strongest statement yet that legalization of the nationâs estimated 11 million illegal immigrants must happen before any new border security or internal enforcement measures are in place, and will in no way be conditional on any security requirements.
âLetâs be clear,â Rubio said. âNobody is talking about preventing the legalization. The legalization is going to happen. That means the following will happen: First comes the legalization. Then come the measures to secure the border. And then comes the process of permanent residence.â
In most of his public appeals for the Gang of Eight bill, Rubio has stressed its enforcement provisions, saying that border security must come before immigrants are granted legal permanent resident status. What he has not stressed so much is the fact that the bill would legalize the 11 million almost immediately, after they have passed background checks and paid some sort of fine. That would happen before any new security measures are completed, or even begun.
But on that he was very clear in his Univision appearance. âAs for the legalization, the enormous majority of my colleagues have accepted that it has to happen and that it has to begin at the same time we begin the measures for [the border],â Rubio said. âIt is not conditional. The legalization is not conditional.â
Here is an English translation of Rubioâs remarks. Here is video of the Univision appearance.
