More importantly, Marco Rubio is a stalking horse for the Jebster.

More importantly, Marco is a RINO with a worthless tax plan.

Like a typical RINO, he thinks he can out-compete the Democraps by offering targeted breaks. He doesn't understand that the name of the game is low marginal rates and higher take-home pay and economic growth!! Not catering to finely calibrated groups!

As for whether he's an anchor baby, that's irrelevant. He was born here, so he's Natural Born.

"As for whether he's an anchor baby, that's irrelevant. He was born here, so he's Natural Born. "

That is simply not true. It is crystal clear that the Founding Fathers used the Natural Law definition of 'natural born Citizen' when they wrote Article II. By invoking "The Laws of Nature and Nature's God" the 56 signers of the Declaration incorporated a legal standard of freedom into the forms of government that would follow.

President John Quincy Adams, writing in 1839, looked back at the founding period and recognized the true meaning of the Declaration's reliance on the "Laaws of Nature and of Nature's God." He observed that the American people's "charter was the Declaration of Independence. Their rights, the natural rights of mankind. Their government, such as should be instituted by the people, under the solemn mutual pledges of perpetual union, founded on the self-evident truth's proclaimed in the Declaration."

Note the reference to Natural Law in the first sentence of our Declaration of Independence.

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.
