Come on, Brytani, you seem to know about Rubio!

Did Rubio block ever bill addressing illegal immigration in the Florida leglistature?

A Republican who puts demographic favoritism above law and order is NO Conservative!!

He says no, the facts from what I’ve seen do not really tell us.

He says the bills would not have made it onto the floor since they had no support, sponsors of the bill say otherwise. Rubio is backed on his position that he did not block the legislation from numerous members in the Florida government.

I’ve heard Rubio speak a few times at different events and he has not wavered on his stated position on immigration that I’ve seen.

His postion has been no amnesty and secure the borders. When it comes to illegals in this country he has taken the republican line that we do not have the resources to remove all of them from the US but we should not give them automatic citizenship. He is concerned about the message Republicans send out that we are against the immigrant not against illegal immigration.

Rubio’s biggest problem with the issue of immigration is that he’s given people reason to think he’s pro-illegals. Personally I think he needs to toughen his stance on the issue and be very clear, the US will not tolerate people entering this country illegally and we will not provide them with services at tax payer expense EXCEPT to remove them from the US.

You can say he’s not a conservative all day long, that does not change the fact that he is pro-2nd amendment, against abortion, against gay marriage, believes in secure borders and no amnesty, and has very high ratings from various conservative groups.

Is Rubio better than Crist?

What other options do we have?
