Rubio, Cruz have fierce exchange over immigration policies at CNN debate

also about border security and immigration so let's talk about immigration senator Rubio you co authored a bill with

Democrats do you still support that half the citizenship which means giving those immigrants right like

here's what we learned in twenty the American people don't trust the federal government to enforce our immigration and will not be able to do anything on immigration until we first prove to the American people that

illegal immigration is under control and we can do that we know what it takes to do that it takes at least twenty thousand more additional border it

takes completing those seven hundred miles of to prevent peace over after we've done that the second thing we have to and

after we've done those two things I think the American people are gonna be very reason what do you do with someone who's been in this country for ten or twelve who

has an otherwise violated our laws because of their criminal they can't stay don't have to undergo a background check pay a fine start

paying to and ultimately they have been given a work permit and that's all going to be a lot of the house but you can't even get to the third

will not support you until they see it done for better you have an answer the question you just described it very long path but

does that path I've answered that question repeatedly I am personally open after all of that is and after ten years and I probationary status for all they have is a work permit I

person I'm open to allowing people to apply for a green card that may not be a majority position in my part but that's down the road I

can't even begin that until you prove to people not just passed a law that's all you're going to bring illegal immigration under control you're

than ever we need to prove to people that illegal immigration is under control dnmt

know there was a time for choosing as Reagan put where there was a battle over a some shows like senator Rubio to stand with Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer and support a

massive amnesty others check to stand with Jeff sessions and Steve king and the American people and

secure the border and not let me mention this issue is actually directly connected to what we've been talking about and you know one of the most troubling aspect of

the Rubio Schumer gang of eight was that it gave president Obama blanket authority to admit refugees including Syrian refugee without

the FBI can't that it puts American citizens at red it risk and I tell you we will secure the board we

will triple crow we will build a wall that were and I'll get Donald Trump to pay for dnmt

you support legalizing people who are in this country illegally Ted Cruz supported a five hundred percent in and

I think it was important for us to understand is there is a way forward on this issue that we can bring our country together and I'm I'm president I will do and

it will begin by bringing illegal immigration and troll and proving it to the American data look I understand that Marco wants to raise confusion it is not a what

he just said that I supported legalization indeed I led the fight against his legalization an amnesty bill and

and you know there were there was one commentator that put it this way that that for market to suggest our records the same it

is like suggesting the fireman and the arson have the same record because they're both at the scene of the fire he was fighting to
