Here's a clip from your link,and its not looking good for Marco at all. If all this is true he is truly weak on immigration which could topple his candidacy.

....................... ....However, a review of several of Rubio’s top donors reveals that many of them have benefited from the Floridian’s rise to power.

Perhaps one of the most widely-criticized areas of Rubio’s campaign pledge to create “A New American Economy” on migrant labor is his support for tripling the controversial H-1B visa program.

Throughout his brief time in Washington—noted primarily for pushing the La Raza and Obama-backed amnesty bill through the Senate—Rubio has co-authored two pieces of legislaton that would massively expand the wage-depressing H-1B visa program used to replace American workers in white-collar jobs. His most recent bill—known as I-Squared—would triple the number of H-1B visas imported into the United States despite the fact that the U.S. Census Bureau reports 3 in 4 Americans trained in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) are not employed in those fields. The Walt Disney Company used H-1Bs to lay off hundreds of American workers and forced them to train their low-wage foreign H-1B replacements. Disney’s CEO has endorsed Rubio’s I-Squared bill.

Trump, who has called on Disney to hire back all of Rubio’s laid-off constituents, thundered:

Lobbyists write the rules to benefit the rich and powerful. They buy off Senators like Marco Rubio to help them get rich at the expense of working Americans by using H-1B visas–so called “high tech” visas–to replace American workers in all sorts of solid middle class jobs… Senator Rubio works for the lobbyists, not for Americans. That is why he is receiving more money from Silicon Valley than any other candidate in this race. He is their puppet.

Marco Rubio’s rise will be short-lived. It is currently being pushed hard by the media as they will push anyone to try to defeat Trump and maybe Cruz.

His debate performance is being hailed but mainly he defeated Jeb Bush and nothing else spectacular.

I’m not sure how old he is but Ted Cruz at 44 seems so much more mature while Marco seems slight and callow.

People are so in agreement and inspired by Trump’s strong stand on illegals, they will never consider a pro-amnesty guy like Marco once they know about it ... and they will.
