RUBIO: Well, I don't support the DREAM Act, either. I support an alternative and that's what I've been working on and I think that's what he said he would consider doing as president, is finding an alternative to the DREAM Act that allows us to accommodate these kids, which I've consistently been in favor of, but not do so in a way that encourages illegal immigration.

MARTIN: Give us your better idea, if you would.

RUBIO: Yep.

MARTIN: Because I'm sure some people haven't heard it.

RUBIO: Sure.

MARTIN: What's your better idea?

RUBIO: Well, first of all, we have to identify who we're going to help. And I think it's kids that came here below a certain age - probably 14 years of age - have lived here at least five consecutive years, graduate high school with no criminal record. Those kids would receive a student visa, basically, to stay in this country and study.

Once the student visa is done, if they graduate college they would get a work visa. They're non-immigrant visa holders. There are hundreds of thousands of non-immigrant visa holders in the United States. After about 10 years in that status, those kids would then be eligible to be petitioned for under the existing legal immigration system.

Which means their job, their spouse, or a family member can apply to petition for them under the existing system - not a special path, the existing system - and that would allow them to get a green card through that existing system. And of course once you have a green card then you're three to five years away from being a citizen.

are you serious? you better hope Rubio shuts up about his Stupid Act. cause its a load of crap, 14 and under? and 19 year old cap? to get working visas and wait 10 years? and like someone said it would have to be a a visa that could be renewable for 10 years. even if only 19 year old kids benefited from this they would only get legalized when they're in their 30's.

Why would Dems support a bill that would leave out some of the people covered by Obama's dream act policy? Since this policy is just a stop gap measure till the dream act or CIR is passed, the Dems won't settle for anything less than that!

Well, it is 10 years and by the time 10 years is up, don't you think CIR and the real Dream Act will pass? You could still get a GC using current methods.

14 and under so I think you would qualify because you had not turn 15 then. It is just like the deferred action age 30. You can't be 31.

Rubio has never talked about his age cap whichs means there might not be one. I am guessing most likely there will be Retroactive because he wants to give work visas AFTER one graduates college so someone has a degree always, you get a work visa regardless age.
