Marco Rubio: I’m The Best When It Comes To Fixing Illegal Immigration
Breitbart.com ^ | 4 Jan 2016 | Charlie Spiering

Republican presidential candidate Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) says that no one who has ever run for president knows more about fixing immigration in the United States than he does.

In a New Hampshire town hall meeting, the Florida Senator argued that he was not a supporter of amnesty – even though his immigration bill proposed by the Senate “Gang of Eight” offered illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.

“No one who has ever run for president understands this issue personally better than I do and that’s why I can tell you and you should tell your friends that no one running for president is better prepared to fix it than me,” he said in response to a voter who asked Rubio how voters would ever trust him on immigration because of his “soft” reputation on the issue.

Rubio grew increasingly passionate as he discussed the issue which has nagged him on the campaign trail as he has tried to emphasize his conservative credentials. During his speech he reminded the audience that he and his wife’s family were all immigrants and grew up in an immigrant community which made him more qualified to address the issue.

“I understand this issue personally, I understand the good, the bad, and the ugly, and every aspect of it,” he said.

“I don’t support amnesty,” he added. “There has to be real consequences for violating our immigration laws, so if you are a criminal you going to be immediately deported … if you violated our immigration laws there will be a substantial consequences for having done so.”

But, but, but he’s had a conversion. He sees the error of his ways. He doesn’t believe in amnesty anymore especially since it translates into single digits.

Hey Marco, then go return all of the millions of dollars you got from the amnesty whores in business. Let’s see how heartfelt this conversion is.

This is reminiscent of Chris Christie's conversion a couple weeks ago. I think I'm gonna cry....

They don't believe in amnesty. They don't believe in amnesty. They don't believe in amnesty. It's like some magical inverse Wizard of Oz scene.

Oh, never mind, that was fantasy too.

Rubio can't even show up to do his job as a senator.
He can go to hell.

I don't see why not. Chuckie Schumer trusts him.

I’ve been a fellow Rubio basher. Starting to feel sorry for him so tossing out a bone:

Oh, they BELIEVE in amnesty, but they are politicians (lawyers, but I repeat myself) and use PC/2x-speak/bloviation to CALL it anything BUT amnesty, to hide their true intentions.

Depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is.

Amnesty Boy thinks amnesty is the only solution to the illegal alien inundation.

Attrition through enforcement works everywhere it has been tried.

Young Yeb! is as bad as Yeb! on this issue, even if he is a better liar.

"No one who has ever run for president understands this issue personally better than I do and that's why I can tell you and you should tell your friends that no one running for president is better prepared to fix it than me."

Marco is a politician. Therefore, we need to carefully parse the words "fix it".

To whom does "Fix it" apply? The illegal? Why yes - that's my interpretation. He means to fix the immigration system for the illegal, not for the citizen.

Yes, Rubio will “fix” this problem by legalizing illegal immigrants. See how simple that is? Using his so-called reasoning, we can also do away with all crime overnight by redefining any criminal act as legal by fiat.
