Fact Checking Today’s Immigration News Reports

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement today regarding Tax Day:
I have received your timely letter regarding recent immigration reform efforts. I appreciate your interest in this important issue and I share your position about the need for a robust and public debate. As you know, I have been forceful and clear in my position that the Judiciary Committee hold multiple hearings on the topic and be given ample time to consider any immigration proposal. This is a position I reiterated last weekend in a letter to Chairman Patrick Leahy, which I have attached for your reference.

By Senator Marco Rubio

Rubio: "Economic growth is the best way to help the middle class. ... I hope the President will abandon his obsession with raising taxes and instead work with us to achieve real growth in our economy."
I believe we should have re-authorized the existing Violence Against Women Act that has helped reduce the annual incidence of domestic violence by more than 50 percent, among other successes.
