Rubio said that the support of voters will be crucial for passing any immigration law, and вЂњthat support can only be earned through full and careful consideration of legislative language and an open process of amendments.вЂќ Leahy of the Senate Judiciary Committee urging against вЂњexcessive hasteвЂќ in considering the soon-to-be-introduced legislation. The Times reports that Rubio sent a letter to Sen. I want this place to work the way itвЂ™s supposed to work, with every senator having input and the public having input.
