One year ago, I called on Congress to make a simple deal on immigration requiring both Republicans and Democrats to do two things - compromise and respect the wishes of the American people.
Democrats would have to agree with the American people that our border needs to be secure, and that we need some kind of physical barriers to secure it.
Republicans would have to agree with the American people that "Dreamers," kids who grew up here after being brought to the United States by their parents, must be welcomed into our society.
Florida is home to nearly 21 million people, more than 4 million of whom are Hispanic.
In a post-election survey of 1,014 Hispanic voters in Florida, my campaign asked this question: Thinking about our nation's immigration laws, do you think we need stricter or looser enforcement of these laws?
Sixty-nine percent of the respondents said we need stricter enforcement of our immigration laws, while only 29 percent preferred looser enforcement.
There is only one thing standing in the way of this common-sense solution for America: Irrational and clouded thinking motivated by hate from Democratic leaders in Washington.
