Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) “says a new immigration bill he helped write needs stronger border security provisions or it will fail in the House and may even have trouble getting through the Senate,” the AP reports.
Rubio also writes in the Wall Street Journal that he’s “been hearing concerns in recent days that more work is needed to boost the bill’s language on the border and he said he’s committed to trying to make those changes.”
