GOP: Leaked WH immigration plan ?counterproductive?

Posted on February 18th, 2013 in News and Commentary

CBS NEWS:? ?A draft of a comprehensive White House immigration proposal was obtained yesterday by USA Today, and one key Republican senator immediately deemed the president?s plan ?dead on arrival.?

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a Hispanic lawmaker involved with a bipartisan group of senators crafting a compromise proposal, said it was a ?mistake for the White House to draft immigration legislation without seeking input from Republican members of Congress,? calling the proposal ?half baked and seriously flawed,? and declaring, ?If actually proposed, the president?s bill would be dead on arrival in Congress.?

White House sources tell CBS News Senior White House Correspondent Bill Plante that this was not a planned leak.
