Los Angeles’ Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, chair of the Democratic convention later this year, criticized Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) work-in-progress DREAM Act.
“I would support the president’s version of the DREAM Act,” he said Sunday on CBS’ Face The Nation. “I think that Senator Rubio’s version of the DREAM Act would create a second class status for folks. And I understand that Speaker Boehner has said that he doesn’t expect that that issue will be addressed in this Congress.”
Villaraigosa predicted Mitt Romney’s stances on immigration would hurt the candidate.
“He said the DREAM Act would be a handout and has campaigned with Kris Kobach, who authored the Arizona and the Alabama laws,” Villaraigosa said.
