Marco on Conservative Immigration Reform (Face The Nation)

we're going to start this morning with immigration were joined by the senator many consider the key

who have worked out a compromise proposal they are hoping will result in a reform of immigration laws that

will appeal to both sides of the senators in Miami this morning senator good morning %HESITATION

when will you unveil well first thought import understand we're not agreeing to a press release for agreeing to a piece of abilities

the legislation we have agreed to the principles of the piece of legislation they're still being fed so I would say obviously of the draft reflects what we've agreed to Allah

for just being able to talk in more detail later this week about that I'm very optimistic about it senator I think the most important part of this the key thing is what

happens to the eleven million %HESITATION immigrants who were in this country illegally

what happens there yeah well first of all I think it's important to point out this is not a theory they are actually here we're not talking about bringing millions of people here illegally they are here now and they're going to be here for the rest of their lives the

proposals in the past some of advocated is to make their lives miserable so that they'll leave on their own or %HESITATION

to basically nor the problem which is happening now is the fact though amnesty and what we're proposing is to actually deal

with them in the in the following way and that is they'll have to come forward and pass a rigorous background check if they're criminals they won't qualify although

it if they passed a background check will be given the opportunity to pay an application a fine and in return for that they will get a get a

worker permit that will allow them to stay in the U. S. work travel and pay taxes it will not qualify for any federal benefits of any kind including obamacare

green card not a special path the same path as everybody else and of course that will be dependent upon certain security measures being met that

mean securing the border universal eve era five and the universal entry exit tracking system of those three things are not in place that

green card process won't begin even of the ten years has elapsed you know some Republicans are going to say this Israeli just amnesty check will be given the opportunity to pay an application fee and a fine and

in return for that they will get a get a worker permit that will allow them to stay in the U. S. work travel and pay taxes it

will not qualify for any federal benefits of any kind including obamacare and they'll have to be in that system for over ten years before

they can apply to the existing legal immigration system for a green card not a special path the same path as everybody

else and of course that will be dependent upon certain security measures being met that mean securing the border universal

eve era five and the universal entry exit tracking system of those three things are not in place that green card process won't begin even

of the ten years has elapsed you know some Republicans are going to say this Israeli just amnesty five and

a universal entry exit tracking system of those three things are not in place that green card process won't begin even

of the ten years has elapsed you know some Republicans are going to say this Israeli just amnesty %HESITATION

under another name are or under another label is well I think that misses the point that under existing law if you're illegal here you can get a green card it says you have to go back to your country of birth you wait ten years and then you apply for the green card all
