CANDY CROWLEY: OK. Let me move you on here because I want to ask you about the immigration reform bill that you’re going to vote on this week, probably twice, first for the border security amendment and then for the bill as a whole. How are you going to vote?
SEN. RAND PAUL: I’m all in favor of immigration reform, but I’m like most conservatives in the country, that I think reform should be dependent on border security first. So, i introduced an amendment that would have done just that. Border security first and then immigration reform –
CROWLEY: — defeated.
PAUL: — with Congressional checks on whether or not it’s occurring. That wasn’t voted in favorably. And so, without some Congressional authority and without border security first, I can’t support the final bill.

CROWLEY: Is it going to pass the House? Yes or no?
PAUL: It will pass the Senate, but it’s dead on arrival in the House. The House is much closer to me, and I think they think border security has to come first before you get immigration reform.
