Rubio is what I like to call a 'nouveau' republican. He talks a good game but his votes betray his speeches. Another problem I have with Rubio is his loyalty is to his heritage, not to America. As a second generation immigrant, I don't understand it. My family came here for a better life because America was the antithesis of all that was wrong with the Country they were living in. My people were anxious and proud to assimilate and become Americans. If you read Rubio's outline for his plan, he even shortens the requirement to learning 'some' English!

I am not ready to turn my Country over to people who have no respect for its laws, its history, its people or its war veterans who fought to keep it what the founders envisioned. At this time, I feel I have no representation and wonder, why am I even paying taxes? Rubio is part of the problem! He is not my Representative but he's from my State and every time he champions the amnesty nonsense it pisses me off! <===== preposition dangling by choice.

I am not a "you guys", I am a girl and I am the proud descendant of people who came here legally and raised me as an all-American. Everyone in my family served in the military and my father came home with a Purple Heart. For what? So others can float over here and turn this place into a watered down version of their failed Socialist/Communist Country? I think not.

I guess opinions vary.

Many Cuban/Americans hate Communism more that we ever could.

With many of their relatives living under the gun of Fidel/Raul Castro,(the castro brothers) they know first hand what its all about. For them communism is a reality that they want no part of.

Cuban immigrants fleeing Castros' communism are a Far different scenario than mexicans. A fourth grade educated 30 year old mexicon crossing the Rio Grande at night and getting on welfare a week later has little in common with the average Cuban American. two different worlds here.
