Rubio was born in America to at least one US citizen.

Legally, the anchor baby law says he was a citizen at birth.

Second, I’m pretty sure his mother had already naturalized by the time of his birth, so he is also a citizen at birth by the fact that one parent was a US citizen.

In the case of Bobby Jindal, he was born here, but neither parent at the time intended other than being on a student visa from their home country.

That is not correct.
Marco Rubio’s parents were naturalized in 1975 as per his website. He was born May 28, 1971. So he was born to parents who were foreign nationals at the time of his birth.

Marco’s father, Mario Rubio, was approved for an immigration visa in Havana, Cuba at the U.S. Embassy on May 18, 1956. He arrived in Miami, Florida on May 27, 1956. He became a naturalized citizen of the United States on November 5, 1975.

Marco’s mother, Oria Rubio, was approved for an immigration visa in Havana, Cuba at the U.S. Embassy on May 18, 1956. She arrived in Miami, Florida on May 27, 1956 with Marco’s dad, Mario. She became a naturalized citizen of the United States on November 5, 1975.
