Senator Marco Rubio obliterated NBC hack Kristen Welker on the issue of mass deportations.
The outgoing Florida Senator, who was formerly in favor of comprehensive immigration reform and will now serve as Secretary of State, appeared on NBC’s Meet The Press to discuss the issue of Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of illegal aliens.
Here is a transcript of the exchange:
WALKER: Donald Trump has said willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military to deport the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country. It would be the largest deportation operation in American history. Do you support that plan?
RUBIO: 11 million? That’s an outdate. That was the number 10 years ago. We’re talking upwards of 20, 25, maybe 30 million. There’s been almost 10 million people in this country in the last three years. The number varies big time. I mean, it’s another 9 to 10 million people just in the last three years.
The answer to your question is yes. We cannot absorb 25, 30 million people who entered this country illegally. They are here illegally. What country on earth would tolerate that? We don’t even know who some of these, most of these people are. They talk about vetting. Vetting them with what?
They’re coming from nations that don’t even have document systems in many cases. Yes, we are going to have to do something.
Unfortunately, we’re going to have to do something dramatic to remove people from this country that are here illegally, especially people we know nothing about. But 10 million, 11 million, that was the number 15 years ago. Today, it’s upwards of probably 25 to 30 million, maybe more.
Walker went on to try and undermine Rubio

...and think of the number of House of Representative seats are reflected in those numbers.
I’m convinced we’ve been robbed of solid House and Senate majorities for decades now.
If Rubio spoke like this 20 years ago, we would be referring to him as former President Rubio.
Gee, Kristen was all sunshine and love to Hakeem Jeffries...
I would 100% agree and think at the local level.
Rubio was on fire. I was very impressed.
<< “11 million? That’s an outdate. That was the number 10 years ago.” >>
More like a quarter century ago. The media and Uniparty have regurgitated that same 11 million BS ever since 9/11. It was inaccurate back then, and it’s wildly inaccurate now.
He didn’t let her get away with her dismissal while she asks a question and stopped her lie completely. Why would she want illegal immigration when her parents went through the right way. Pure scum.
LOL - good one. Actually you can see she's getting her script through an earpiece; most likely from DNC agent-in-place Chuck Todd. They thought it worked fairly well with Biden and Obama/Jarret/etc. so Sunday morning puppet shows are back!

from a radio interview during the 2016 campaign
what should we do about all the illegals?
rubio and cruz gave multi-paragraph lawyerly legalese
Trump says, “i am sorry but they have to go”
I’m glad he pushed back on the 11 million number, which has been used in the media for what seems like decades.
