As first reported by TPM on Wednesday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has launched a new immigration reform website devoted to combatting “myths” about his bill.
In a statement, Rubio describes the site as a “one-stop shop for helping the public separate fact from fiction as this debate continues” as well as a venue for constituents to send their own ideas about improving the bill to his office.
“One of the great challenges with legislation on an issue as complex as immigration is that it usually lends itself to myths, misinformation or outright lies about what’s actually in the bill,” Rubio said. “We saw with ObamaCare what happens when a bill is passed before it is read and openly debated, and we want to hear from the American people as we continue this debate. Our immigration debate should not be shaped by misinformation and myths, and we will do our part to inform people on why the proposed conservative immigration reform is good for our security, our sovereignty and our economy.”
