clip of Bongino thinking Rubio, filling in for Caroline Levitt as Press Sec, said some thing great, when really it shows Rubio doesn't understand some key things about The USA and it's foundations.
Rubio basically says anyone can come from anywhere into the US and achieve (current system gives many incentives to foreignors over US Citizens), or be born of illegals in the US (and remain, abusing the system)

I know. But this would be a great set up for the future and kids and grandkids
“He’s been pro amnesty for a very long time.
Unless he’s had a damascene moment in the last couple of years, he still is.
That’s why I get scared with the fawning over his future as possible POTUS.”
Freeperville seems determined to climb on the media Rubio bandwagon and ignore facts. Rubio needs to address some of that.
I want to know why Rubio’s right hand man is still open border, Mexican owned, immigration lawyer Cesar Conda.
It’s very curious why the swamp media never seems to go after Marco Rubio, even with his recent ties to a convicted traitor who he lived with. I want to hear him say he’s denounced his former positions on immigration, etc.

The media has been picking Republican candidates since Dole. Except for Trump. That’s why they hate him so. Does he know Conda??
Rubio was born in the US of Cuban parents. Correct?
Correct...Parents not citizens at the time of his birth. Here on Visas.
Anchor baby
👍🏻
Maybe that’s why he’s pro amnesty, i.e., he has a soft spot in his heart for foreigners, whether legal or illegal.
with your double post maybe you are the bot?
I’m a live person, learning the roots of the Republic and prefer people to ascend to positions of authority that truly care to abide by them.
In recent decades, almost no one fits that, but I know and trust God can raise people up and take them down too.
yes he said ( basically) anyone in America, that could include illegals. There was some years back (2015-16ish?) when “little” Rubio ran for president that people questioned was he himself an anchor baby?
I only know he talks vaguely on some topics that I question if he were in hirer office would he be for amnesty etc?
Pretty sure I’ve heard several times that Rubio is not interested in the Senate anymore. He and Vance are apparently best friends I would love a Vance, Rubio, Desantis and Cruz primary. These four need to get together and have an understanding of a vigorous, constructive and civilized debate over the future of our country. Tough to pull off though. Ego’s are tough to silence.
agreed! I thought I recalled that he has been for illegals to get more breaks, like amnesty.
To me, that signifies he is not America first, even though he currently is doing some good for our country.
ANYONE can act a part for a few years to make themself look good and snow they voters.
We have seen It many times. why don’t people want to believe it won’t happen more?
Maris, it’s kind of obvious from the video clip and facts of what’s been going on in recent decades, and earlier too.
3, if not all four of them, have proven they are more about perks for themself and families rather than our Country.
Your nasty views of the country do not negate what he said to be true.
The founders, who indeed are now watching the evolution of our nation, must be dismayed by how easily we have dismissed that important point. They intended a form of government for us, not one for the world.
Instead of some just reading some butthurt poster commenting on something she hasn't even posted, you can read the entire transcript of Rubio's remarks at the link above. He did a great job!
Better yet, President Trump does NOT step down early, and Vance for 8 years.
Planning for the 2036 election is silly.
Forget Rubio or DeSantis for POTUS - that ship has sailed.
How do you all feel about statehood for Puerto Rico? That assures 2 more Democrats for Senate..at least..
AI says
As of early 2026, Marco Rubio remains a proponent of Puerto Rican statehood, which is framed as a national security priority for the current administration to strengthen influence in Latin America. Cesar Conda, Rubio’s former Senate chief of staff and long-time advisor, is actively involved in this effort, serving as an advisor for the Puerto Rico Statehood Council. [1, 2, 3]
Key Details:
• Cesar Conda’s Role: Conda, a founding principal of Navigators Global
and a close advisor to Rubio, has long supported the statehood movement.
• Political Context: The push for statehood is positioned alongside efforts to stabilize the Caribbean and South America. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Puerto Rico is the primary reason that Alberta and Saskatachewan will not be admitted to the Union
These former Canadian provinces will be combined into a territory like PR and Virgin Islands
If we add new states we have to keep the number of states to 50.
That means combining those small Northeastern states, I mean Rhode Island.....really?!?!!!
How do you all feel about statehood for Puerto Rico?
Make PR the sixth borough of NYC.
It’s troublesome that this traitor has infiltrated the Trump administration!
Yes, Republican strategist and lobbyist Cesar Conda has provided advice to Donald Trump and his allies, particularly focusing on legislative strategy and economic policy. As of 2025–2026, Conda has recommended that Trump focus on “pocketbook issues” and suggested pushing for “Trump Checks” (rebate checks) ahead of midterm elections.
• Role and Background: Conda is a founding partner of the GOP lobbying firm Navigators Global.
• Advisory Capacity: He has been active in advising on trade and foreign policy, defending Trump’s trade deals and diplomatic strategies.
• Connections: He has close ties to the Trump administration, notably having worked with Secretary of State-designate Marco Rubio. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Conda has been noted in 2026 to advise on legislative strategy, regulatory risk, and geopolitical dynamics. [3]
