Senate Republicans say they'll try to passimmigration reform legislation in the next two years if they take back the Senate in November.
The Republicans say winning back the Senate will allow them to pass a series of bills on their own terms that have a better chance of winning approval in the House.
That would give his party a chance to pass immigration legislation before the presidential election, when Hispanic voters will be crucial to winning the White House.
But Democrats are threatening that if the House does not pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill this year the issue will be dead in 2015 and 2016, sinking the GOP brand among Hispanics ahead of the 2016 election.
I certainly think we can make progress on immigration particularly on topics like modernizing our legal immigration system, improving our mechanisms for enforcing the law and I think if you did those things you could actually make some progress on addressing those who are illegally, Rubio said Wednesday evening of the prospects of passing immigration reform in 2015.
He said the Senate next year should pass immigration reform through a series of sequential bills that build upon each other to enact comprehensive reform. This approach would be more palatable in the House, he said.
Rubio said he was not fully satisfied with the comprehensive bill that passed the Senate last year, adding Republicans would absolutely pass better legislation if they pick up six or more seats in the midterm election.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who is poised to take over as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said he will vote topass immigration legislation in the next Congress if Republicans ascend to the majority.
Wed start over again next year, Grassley said, when asked about the next steps if Congress does not pass immigration reform by September.
Id make a decision about whether you could get more done by separate bills or a comprehensive bill, he said.

SALT LAKE CITY Fourth Congressional District candidate Doug Owens vowed Wednesday to make immigration reform a top campaign priority.
Owens' announcement comes a day after Utah business, civic and religious leaders again urged Congress to deal with immigration issues.
"Its time for Congress to set aside party politics and work together to pass real reform to our nations antiquated, ineffective immigration laws, the first-time Democratic candidate said in a prepared statement. I call upon Utahs congressional delegation to begin working on immigration reform now, and I look forward to joining them in those efforts next year.
Owen said he supports reform that strengthens border security, upholds the law, respects the rights of those who contribute to the economy, and includes a pathway to American citizenship.
Owens faces Republican Mia Love for the seat held by seven-term Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson, who isn't seeking re-election.
Love, who narrowly lost to Matheson in 2012, favors immigration reform that secures the nation's borders and makes naturalization rules more clear. She would also offer incentives for those who enter and leave the country by charging a fee of a few thousand dollars to people who come on visas and then refund the money when they leave.
