“Yesterday, Senator Marco Rubio offered up a short-sighted, quick fix to the immigration system that completely ignores some of the most vulnerable immigrants,” said Felipe Sousa-Rodriguez, national field director for GetEQUAL. “As a gay undocumented Floridian who is happily married to a permanent resident of the same gender, I know firsthand how detrimental Senator Rubio’s immigration plan would be to immigrants. Good, humane, serious immigration policy would not leave an entire segment of the immigrant community in perpetual legal hell because of our sexual orientation or gender identity. If Senator Rubio is, in good faith, attempting to actually fix the immigration system, he would see that his statement is not acceptable.”
