Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) is willing to support a “Dream Act”-style bill from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) even if it’s “watered-down” and doesn’t give a path to citizenship, he told Fox News Latino in an interview published on Monday. “If it stops the deportation, and doesn’t exclude them from becoming citizens,” he said. “It doesn’t stop that from happening, yes. And I think we can arrange, arrive at that.” Rubio had yet to release a specific proposal, but plans to unveil a bill within a few weeks that would provide legal status to some undocumented young people who entered the United States as parents.
