El Rubio’s bill also put illegals at the front of the line for work permits - ahead of Legal immigrant petitioned relatives waiting abroad for years/decades for their petitions to become current.
An illegal Mexican here for three years, mostly working illegally, but also a few misdemeanor arrests: Rubio gives him an instant work permit.
A Philippine national, with a clean record, waiting 20 years in the Philippines for his petition to be called: Rubio spits in face and whispers “sucker - you should have sneaked in”.
Rubio isn’t counting on the Filipino vote in 2016, apparently.
