Schumer: 2013 Immigration Reform Bill Is a Good Model for What We Should Do

‘We had four Democrats, four Republicans, including Marco Rubio, who’s now gone to the other side on this’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "Well, we had a good model in 2013, as you may remember, bipartisan."
SCARBOROUGH: "Yeah."
SCHUMER: "John McCain and I headed the Gang of Eight. We had four Democrats, four Republicans, including Marco Rubio, who's now gone to the other side on this. But we could have come up with a bill like that. It toughens up the border. It gives a path to citizenship, a long, tough path to citizenship for 11 million people who are here. It allows high-tech people who are needed in our industries to come in. But it's -- it's -- it was a bill that got 70 votes in the Senate, or 68 or 69. It got Democrats and Republicans. That's the way to go.”
