Florida Democrat says he’s open to considering Rubio immigration plan but prefers DRE
 

TAMPA, Fla. — Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson says he’s open to Republican Sen. Marco Rubio’s plan to let young illegal immigrants remain in the United States but sees problems with the still-evolving legislation.

Nelson spoke to about three dozen students at the University of South Florida on Thursday about student loans, the environment and immigration. The Florida senator is a co-sponsor of the DREAM Act, which grants a path to citizenship to young illegal immigrations who attend college or serve in the military.

Rubio is crafting a bill that would permit young illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. with their parents to apply for non-immigrant visas. They would be allowed to stay to study or work, but they would not have a special path to citizenship.

"but prefers DREAM Act"

Accidentally cut off the end of the title. No mysterious DRE here... lol

Good, Bill Nelson is the only Congressman to go to space and serve in the US Congress.

Perhaps little by little more Senators and Congressmen/women will begin to show support for this bill.
