Marco Rubio warned New Hampshire voters on a cold Thursday that the Islamic State terrorist group is exploiting loopholes in the U.S. immigration system to send jihadists into the country to kill Americans.
"As someone who has access to very sensitive information, I can tell you for a fact that ISIS understands our legal immigration system and is seeking to exploit it," the Florida senator, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told a packed house party in Bedford at the first of three public events over two days in the Granite State.
The senator's admitted shift in favor of a tougher immigration policy comes as he continues to trail his staunchly anti-immigration rivals Donald Trump and Ted Cruz for the Republican nomination less than four weeks before voting begins. Rubio's support for allowing undocumented workers in the U.S. a pathway to citizenship puts him at odds with many in his party, and the issue has dogged him throughout the primary as Trump and Cruz have repeatedly labeled him a supporter of "amnesty." But recent attacks by the Islamic State in Paris and California have given Rubio ammunition to mount a new push to tighten immigration laws.

From article Marco says:
"This issue is different now. We now have radical jihadist groups that are using our immigration system against us,"
No, Rubio, it is NOT different. Everyone knows that Radicals exploit this for terror. They always have and always will. Trying to say it is different will not work.
You are toast as you and Schumer are too much in bed.
Rubio is a noxious twit in winkle pickers.
Marco Pathetico. :-)
No go, Rube.
We know you for what you are.
Go away.
Anyone who believes Rubio’s position on immigration is anything but “Allow more illegals in while paying lip-service to enforcing the border” is deluding themselves.
Well, “Boots” has been flip flopping around like a fresh caught fish laying on the ice. He reminds me of a used car salesman who has shifted to selling swamp land in Florida.
Like anyone really believes he will stick to this two minutes after being sworn-in.
Too little too late Marco...
I guess Rubio forgot about 9/11. Or....he just hopes we’re stupid.
US Senate candidate Rubio was a patriot who opposed Amnesty. US Senator Rubio immediately joined the Gang of Eight in supporting Amnesty.
I don’t care what presidential candidate Rubio claims while he is giving speeches. I learned my lesson the first time around.
“Fool me once, shame on you . . .”
Never give more knives to backstabbers
