During a candidates’ debate that same year in Florida, Marco Rubio’s Republican primary challenger, Gov. Charlie Crist, asserted that an earned path to citizenship for illegal immigrants would require them to “get in the back of the line, pay a fine if necessary, [pay] their back taxes, and be able to become productive members of the American economy,” said Crist. “Earned path to citizenship is basically code for amnesty,” Rubio shot back, “it is unfair to the people that have legally entered this country to create an alternative pathway for individuals who entered illegally and knowingly did so.” Three years after voters elected two Senate Republican candidates who pledged to secure America’s southern border, McCain and Rubio voted to pass S. 744 – an “earned path to citizenship” that “is basically code for amnesty.” What accounts for their dramatic about-face? dcmarchforjobs/2013/07/08/stopping-amnesty-is-up-to-you/
