“Number one is I think that the vast majority of the people that are in this country illegally, whether they entered illegally and overstayed their visas, they’re here because they want to provide their families with opportunity. I get that. I understand that. And I know that because I know people in that status. “ - Marco Rubio

Does that mean he's aiding and abetting? Just asking.

"Does that mean he's aiding and abetting? Just asking. "

No, it means he's giving a complete and intellectual answer to a serious and complicated problem. But, too many people - including people here on FR - don't want that. They only want to consume bumper-sticker soundbites, especially those that are fed to them by the liberal media.

Rubio is excerpted by the LSM, and the intended consequences are seen in the knee-jerk reactionaries - "Rubio is RINO", rings out in some conservative circles, and the LSM says to themselves, "Mission Accomplished".

Don't fall for it. Rubio is an orthodox conservative who is addressing a sensitive issue in a state with a substantial Hispanic population. I'm sorry you, and others, aren't sophisticated enough to understand that.
