RUBIO: Well, I think he needs to see the details of it. Here’s what I’m confident of. I’m confident that we’re going to be able to produce a piece of legislation that’s going to help these kids, not encourage illegal immigration in the future, and can the support of the majority of Republicans in the Senate( Note he didn't say anything about house republicans lol).
HUNT: When will it come out?
RUBIO: Well, we’re waiting for - what we’re waiting for is -
HUNT: In June?
RUBIO: Well, here’s - it depends. We’re waiting on what the Congressional Budget Office and the Congressional Research Office tells us. Because one of the things we’re going to get asked is how many people will this apply to and how much money is it going to cost. And if I don’t have the answers to those questions when I file this, it’s not going to -

RUBIO: As soon as we can. I think that the -
HUNT: Is it reasonable to talk about June?
RUBIO: I wouldn’t want to date it with a specific month. I would just say that as soon as we can. Certainly it’s not something we want to wait any longer than we have to to do.

HUNT: Let me talk about that larger issue. And you are developing, you haven’t finalized, some kind of compromised Dream Act, if you will. Would you grant a pathway to citizenship to veterans who are honorably discharged from the military?
RUBIO: Yeah. I think on the military service part, it’s not nearly as controversial.
HUNT: So you would give them a pathway?
RUBIO: Right. I think anybody who’s honorably discharged from the service of this country -
HUNT: Gets citizenship, even though they didn’t come here legally.
RUBIO: Well, obviously you get a green card, then it’s citizenship. But it’s a very different process, and very uncontroversial.
HUNT: And for students though, they’d have to get in another queue?
RUBIO: Yeah. And so that - the way that process - what I can tell you about what we’ve designed already and have been talking about is that we look at a very specific group of kids that came here before a certain age and lived here continuously, graduate from school, go on to college or some advanced education. They would get a non-immigrant visa, the way thousands of other people have non-immigrant visas. And that would allow them to stay here legally, work here legally, live here legally. At some point in the future, they will be allowed to apply for their residency, like anybody else would, not a special path (ph).
HUNT: But they wouldn’t have to go back?
RUBIO: No, they would not. As long as they have their visa -

So much for June. He was so adamant in the beginning about it being passed in time for the Fall semester.

Sometimes I wonder if this guy realize he's fucking with our lives here. I'm just going to stick to my originally plan and not allow this guy to play mind games with me. I'll be 25 next year august and if nothing happens by then am out. I refuse to live the finally 4 years for my 20s illegal.

Sad truth is, he doesnt know a single thing about what we're going through. Majority of the politicians doesnt or simply doesnt give a single shit about us.

back to our normal lives. No Rubio DA for now.

Dres2011 · 05-25-2012, 12:54 PM

Hahahaha, Well we've still got Reid and his Dream Act vote before the elections

I think in June we ought to blow up his phone!! Anyone with this? Phones, letters, and petitions to make him stick to his promise. This effort would be two fold. In one instance, it compels him to stick to his words because of all the attention/calls/petitions (aka people) watching him. And in the other sense, it shows how much support/how badly we are looking forward to his DA. The last bit will make him feel good and think he has our support!

None of them realize the true human impact the lack of reform is having. I'll wait around to see who wins the elections but I'm going to save as much as I can and try to immigrate elsewhere. This is getting ridiculous now.

The Democrats are going to bring DREAM Act up for a vote knowing that it won't pass the House. So, yet again we're left with no relief. I'm just really tired of this. I'm getting too old for people to be playing with my life.
