Marco Rubio’s support for comprehensive immigration reform two years ago remains a major question mark hovering over his presidential campaign, even as he’s cracked top-tier status in the GOP field. On Tuesday, the freshman senator’s tightrope walk on the issue will continue, when the Senate takes up a bill, co-sponsored by Rubio and favored by the party’s staunchest immigration opponents, to crack down on so-called sanctuary cities. But Rubio’s attempts to explain his trajectory on immigration — from chief GOP advocate of sweeping reform to largely disavowing that effort and now advocating an enforcement-first approach — is drawing criticism from all sides.

Rubio lied to get elected.
He lied about his scheming with Schumer against the citizens.
He lies all the time.
“[Rubio’s] trajectory on immigration — from chief GOP advocate of sweeping reform to largely disavowing that effort and now advocating an enforcement-first approach”
Trajectory. Yeah, that’s the word for it. /s
Rubio is indeed a lying piece of duplicitous crap. He’s a GOPe/’RAT cheap-labor express and open borders proponent based upon his actual actions when in power.
Don’t trust this POLITICIAN. Hopefully, he’ll be gone from the national stage when his term expires in January 2017.
Rubio as “top-tier?”
Suuuuure. Keep telling yourself that, journalists. Adorable.
Hillary should get Rubio as her Veep. They are both flip-floppers and will say anything to get elected.
Rubio’s problem is that he take different stands on immigration related issues depending on whether his audience is English-speaking or Spanish-speaking.
He still has the stench from the gang of 8 on his shoes.
The arc of repentance.
But too late to rescue this campaign. The bloom is off the rose, and tarnish has set in.
Marco Rubio may well be around for many more years, years that could be devoted to further maturation, and perhaps, finally shedding the choir-boy image.
Still, keep your eye on him. He has chosen to opt out of the Senate re-election campaign, so he shall have to be looking for a new base for 2016 and beyond. He does seem to have a solid base of financial supporters.
You can’t VEER right .. in order to call yourself a “Conservative” .. you must act and talk right BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
I will not vote for Rubio.
Sounds more like Trump but somehow his flip flops are “genius.” Abortion, immigration, Hillary,on and on.
October 24, 2010 while campaigning for the Senate:
“Earned path to citizenship is basically code for amnesty. It’s what they call it. And the reality of it is this. This has to do with the bottom line that America cannot be the only country in the world that does not enforce its immigration laws. It is unfair to the people that have legally entered this country to create an alternative pathway for individuals who entered illegally and knowingly did so. And all I’m saying is that if you do that...you will never have a legal immigration system that works. No one is going to follow the law if there is an easier way to do it.”
June 27, 2013 as an elected Senator:
"Those who once had no hope will give their kids the chance at a life they always wanted for themselves. Here in America, generations of unfulfilled dreams will finally come to pass. And that is why I support this reform (Amnesty)--not just because I believe in immigrants but because I believe in America even more."
Rubio’s immigration stance doesn’t “veer”.
It pachinkos left, right, up, and around, but always ends up in the amnesty sink hole at the bottom.
No one will ever trust him on this issue.
Had he not tried to cut a deal with the Devil he might be leading this field today.
Id not be surprised to see a Trump/Rubio ticket
Some people can change their minds believable. Some people just sound as if they are wetting their fingers to check the breeze.
Good luck talking your way out of the Gang of Eight Marco. :-)
No wall, No reform.
Yep, a liar. He’s an open border amnesty boy all the way; through and through.
There is always two. A master and his apprentice
