Rubio: People Don’t Believe Obama Will Enforce Immigration Law

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida said the biggest impediment to crafting immigration legislation is that people don’t believe President Barack Obama will enforce the law.
“We are dealing with an administration that, quite frankly, has shown a reluctance to enforce the immigration law,” Rubio said. “If you want to know the single impediment to get things done on [immigration reform] is people don’t believe the Obama administration or the federal government will enforce the law.”
In an interview Tuesday with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, Rubio said, “We have to ensure that we build into this bill mechanisms that ensure that the law is enforced.”
Rubio, one of the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” senators who crafted a comprehensive immigration package, said Republicans made concessions by agreeing to allow illegal immigrants to remain in the country.
“Just the fact that we are going to allow or create a process for people who violated our immigration laws to stay in the country, that’s a major concession,” Rubio said. “In return, however, what we expect is to modernize our illegal immigration system, to have in place e-verify and entry-exit tracking system, and $5.5 billion of border security.”
Rubio said that the legislation also mandates that people who are here illegally “do not qualify for any federal benefits, including Obamacare.”
“What we have now is de facto amnesty, that’s chaos and terrible for the country,” Rubio said.
On an appearance earlier Tuesday on the Mike Gallagher nationally syndicated radio show, Rubio said that the Senate bill as presently written, couldn’t pass the House, and “will have to be adjusted, because people are very suspicious about the willingness of the government to enforce the laws now.”
“That is a very legitimate suspicion, it’s one that I share, and if there’s anything we can do to make [the bill] even tighter … that’s what we should be working on,” Rubio said.
