On Sunday, Sen. Marco Rubio gave an assessment about immigration reform situation saying that Republicans are currently reluctant to deal with the President on the matter since the negotiations by the President on the fiscal crisis situation have been unfair. This has complicated the situation of passing immigration reform since the GOP believes the President would continue negotiation unfairly on this issue as well.
Rubio agree with Rep. Paul Labrador who said that it would be crazy to negotiate with the President at this point of time since it would destroy the Republican Party. GOP is worried that Obama would agree on the path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented while he may disagree to tightening up the border security later.
The immigration issue has been under spotlight after the shutdown ended after the President called on the Congress to reach the immigration reform agreement swiftly since he believes that if the house had ideas to improve the Senate bill, the negotiations should begin and the reform should be done by the year’s end.
Rubio still believes that the nation’s broken immigration system needs a fix and the immigration issue is important for the nation to confront. However, Rubio said that the House needs its own time and space to craft its legislation which may turn out to be better than the Senate version.
