Rubio Remains a Supporter of Path to Citizenship
National Review ^ | 6/30/15 | ELIANA JOHNSON

Many conservatives — and, indeed, many people — have been confused about what, exactly, Marco Rubio’s position is on immigration now that he’s said he regrets his support for the failed Gang of Eight bill.

In an interview with New Hampshire’s local ABC station on Friday, Rubio made clear that he remains a supporter of a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

“I do,” Rubio said, when asked if he supports a path to citizenship for those currently in the United States illegally. First, though, Rubio said lawmakers have to “prove to the American people that illegal immigration is under control,” implement an e-verify system, and modernize our legal immigration system. “After we’ve done those two steps, I believe the American people will be very generous but responsible about what you do with those that have been here a long time,” Rubio said.

The relevant portion of Rubio’s remarks is here, and you can watch his entire interview with WMUR here.

I believe in a path to citizenship. Just walk right back to your home country.

Only Trump and Steve King are experts on construction amongst those close to the presidential primary process.

Trump said on Saturday that illegals are hardworking and decent and should stay here. Why should he be considered any better than Rubio?

It was bad enough that the Klown quit enforcing the law but apparently we are PAYING these illegals to be here. Stop paying them and those that are worthless will leave.

Dead! (In the Rahm-Emanuel, knife-in-the-table sense.)

All the candidates who have said that Obergefell is the “law of the land” are also DEAD.

They are already doing their best to force all the manufacturing jobs to Mexico
