I've said this before. He is who he is. That would be he's hispanic first and a US citizen second. I think we should give him a chance to put his priorities straight, especially since his turning against the bill just might stop it from passing.
Negative. All his chances are spent. He’ll need my vote too, and he will not be getting it.
Sorry. “Hispanic” is a made-up demographic.
Rubio is Cuban, and most of the immigrants we are talking about are Central and South American, esp. Mexican. There is a great deal of antipathy between Mexicans (and other Central and South American ethnicities) and Cubans. Heck, speaking Cuban Spanish in Mexico can get you killed (apparently some commonly used words don’t mean the same thing between the two areas). They don’t really make much of a common cause.
I can’t believe that Rubio wouldn’t know this. I think this was purely political on his part (look at all those votes...). Or, worse, it might be moral - he might actually think that illegal aliens deserve better treatment at taxpayer expense.
