U.S. congressmen: The draft immigration bill will not pass the House of Representatives. Let us first take a look at the views of the most famous conservative Florida Senator Marco Rubio on the immigration bill. He recently said that if some adjustments are not made, the bill he helped draft may not pass the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. This shows that the prospects of the immigration reform bill that all parties originally hoped to pass this fall are still unclear. In an interview with conservative radio host Mike Gallagher, Marco Rubio said: "This bill at this time may not pass the House of Representatives." "It will have to be adjusted because people are very doubtful about the government's willingness to actually enforce the law now and in the future." Marco Rubio invited conservatives to propose changes to strengthen the bill rather than try to kill it. However, since a large number of different interest groups are involved, the right's revised opinions may cause some dissatisfaction on the left, which will make further negotiations more complicated. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said last week that he planned to introduce several small-scale legislative proposals. Democrats, who wanted more comprehensive reforms, were immediately alarmed when they learned of the Republicans' intentions. President Obama said at a recent press conference that the Gang of Eight's bill provides a path for illegal immigrants to become citizens, but it is not his ideal bill. But he reiterated his support for the draft. At the same time, he also made some suggestions to let Congress know his bottom line. He said: "Will it make the border more secure? Will it prompt employers to work with the government to make sure that people are not taken advantage of, or that they do not slip through loopholes in the system? Are we improving the legal immigration system? Are we creating a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants?" In other words, Obama wants a large-scale immigration reform. If any new proposal to replace the Gang of Eight can meet those requirements, the president said, a compromise might succeed. "If it doesn't meet those standards, then I will not support such a bill. So we will have to wait and see." Lawmakers in both houses of Congress are at the beginning of the debate and there is still time to iron out these differences. But sometimes more time isn't enough, and some gaps are too big to bridge.
