Rubio Tells Trump To 'Clearly Outline' What Kind Of Immigration Bill He'd Sign

Source: Talking Points Memo

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) called on President Donald Trump on Tuesday to clarify what kind of legislation he would sign to protect young undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Rubio, in a statement, called on Trump to clarify what he was willing to sign into law.

“It is important that the White House clearly outline what kind of legislation the president is willing to sign,” he wrote. “We have no time to waste on ideas that do not have the votes to pass or that the president won’t sign.”

Rubio also wrote that he had “long supported accommodating those brought to this country illegally through no fault of their own.”

“However,” he added, “I have always felt that President Obama’s executive action was unconstitutional and that the right way to address this issue was through legislation.”

all immigrants must be of pure "Aryan" blood, preferably blonde haired, blue eyed, hold deplorable thoughts, pledge allegiance to their fuhrer.

He does not care and is totally disinterested in policy that does nothing for himself or his buddies personally. Attach a national holiday honoring Trump to anything and he will sign it.
