for procedural reasons. at any rate, now they need to get it through both chambers if it is going to pass. it is closed. there can be no more edits. that might be a problem because senator marco rubio is still upset that changes that have been made to the child tax credit aren t enough. he just fired off a trio of tweets that say this. the working class is always forgotten in d.c. we need to add more tax cuts for working class parents, especially those earning $20,000 to $50,000. it doubles the credit from 1,000 to 2,000, but for millions of working-class families, only 55% of the 2,000 and is available to them. can only support bill if percentage of the tax credit available to working-class parents is increased to a percentage meaningfully higher than 55%. the rubio position for now is a
i was fighting to secure the border. director of the latino vote for the clinton campaign. she joins me now. great seeing you. good morning, josé. i thought senator rubio, for the first time in a while. actually specified what he believes in as far as immigration. he said, there should be a path to citizenship but only after the federal government beeves up the border and the legals from is changed and forcing people to have a work permit for ten years before getting a green card. what does hillary clinton feel has to be done? let me speak to this for a second, josé. i think that s giving him too much credit. i think saying he is for a pathway to citizenship is getting away with muddling his words and going back and forth on his positions. the rubio position is an extreme position. he said i would take away 65,000 i would take away daca

dream act is stalled. romney bashed the president s end run around congress. even though he was asked repeatedly, he refused to say if he would repeal the order if he s elected in november. would you repeal this order if you became president? well, let s step back and look at the issue. what would you do about it? as you know, he was president for the last three and a half years, did nothing on immigration. but would you repeal this? well, it would be overtaken by events by virtue of my putting in place a long-term solution with legislation which creates law that relates to individuals such as they know their setting is going to be. for the term of a president but on a permanent basis. would you leave this in place while you worked out a long-term solution or would you just repeal it? we ll look at that setting as we reach that. but my anticipation is i d come into office and say we need to get this done on a long-term basis. not this kind of stop-gap measure.
