Marco Rubio on immigration: "First and foremost, border security" (just two short years ago)

President Barack Obama today cited one of Marco Rubio's predecessors, Mel Martinez, as a Republican supporter of immigration reform, but Rubio told reporters before Obama's immigration speech today that border security is the priority.

"First and foremost we have to secure the border, we have to secure the workplace," said Rubio. "We can't move on to the modernization of our legal immigration system until both the border and the workplace are secure, through both E-Verify and real security at both the Canadian and the Mexican borders. We've got to accomplish that first before we can do any modernization, which is needed."

Oh, now, that was for the gringos, don-cha-know...

Just like Yasser Arafat had one speech for the English-speaking reporters and one for the Arabs, so Rubio's says one thing for the gringos and the opposite for "his people".

I wonder how much he has been paid off in those 2 years.
