“In a recent Wall Street Journal article, [Sen. Rubio] elaborated on his plan for a pathway to citizenship that would screen out criminals, increase worksite enforcement provisions, boost the number of seasonal work visas for agricultural workers and tighten border security. Bob Dane, the communications director of Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform, told WND that Rubio is just recycling old ideas,” Worldnetdaily reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n “‘There literally is nothing novel to his proposals. Rubio is trying to triangulate all of these competing special interests that want to be at the table,’ he said. ‘It really is just Groundhog Day, it is a sequel of 2007.'”<\/p>\n “Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is voicing confidence in the prospects for immigration reform in the House, saying that a bipartisan group of lawmakers ‘basically [has]an agreement’ after more than three years of secret talks. The Speaker made the previously unreported comments during a question-and-answer session on Tuesday at the Ripon Society, a Republican advocacy group,” The Hill<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n “‘I said it the day after the election. I meant it, and we’re going to have to deal with it,’ Boehner said. ‘I think there’s a bipartisan group of members that have been meeting now for three or four years. Frankly, I think they basically have an agreement. I’ve not seen the agreement. I don’t know all the pitfalls in it, but it’s in my view, the right group of members.'”<\/p>\n “A powerful group of senators from both parties has reached a deal on the outlines of a comprehensive immigration overhaul, a development that will drive an emotional debate on a hot-button issue unseen in Washington for more than half a decade. The group is expected to unveil the basics of its proposal at a Monday news conference on Capitol Hill, essentially laying down a marker on the issue one day before President Barack Obama heads to Las Vegas to unveil more details about his own immigration proposal,” Politico reports.<\/p>\nBoehner Says Immigration Deal Closer<\/h3>\n
