Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is doubling down on his support for in-state tuition for illegal aliens.
On ABC, George Stephanopoulos asked Rubio about his work in the Florida statehouse in which he "co-sponsored legislation to provide in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants." Stephanopolous asked Rubio directly: "Do you stand behind that position now?"
Rubio said that he "absolutely" stands behind that legislation:
RUBIO: It was a very narrowly drafted bill. You had to have a certain GPA, you had to live in the U.S. a long time, you had to graduate from a Florida high school. It was very narrowly tailored to high-performing students who found themselves in a situation where they were brought here by their parents when they were 5, didn't even speak another language except English and therefore couldn't attend college because they were being charged like they were from out of state. They still had to pay for college but they paid for what people paid when they lived in Florida. They had to be high school graduates of Florida.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you stand behind that?
RUBIO: Yes, of a narrowly tailored bill like that, absolutely....

Now what does that say about Floridians, they haven't picked anyone good ever, have they?
“co-sponsored legislation to provide in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants.”
That should be illegal. Isn’t it contributing to criminal activity? Aiding and abetting a known criminal?

A criminal charge of aiding and abetting or accessory can usually be brought against anyone who helps in the commission of a crime, though legal distinctions vary by state. A person charged with aiding and abetting or accessory is usually not present when the crime itself is committed, but he or she has knowledge of the crime before or after the fact, and may assist in its commission through advice, actions, or financial support. Depending on the degree of involvement, the offender’s participation in the crime may rise to the level of conspiracy.
For example, Andy draws a floor plan of a bank, knowing of Dan’s intention to rob it. After Dan commits the robbery, Alice agrees to let him store the stolen money at her house. Both Andy and Alice can be charged with aiding and abetting, or acting as accessories to the robbery.

Interesting. According to Rubio, an illegal Mexican should pay less tuition in Texas than an American from New Mexico would. An illegal Haitian in Florida would pay less tuition than a legal citizen of Georgia would. This is one of many areas in which Rubio is completely out of touch with decent people and with decent values.
And American kids will still pay the full fair and then some.
And how are they going to pay for in state tuition.
The loans they took out under stolen identity.
Hardly picking from the best...
