Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% released a statement Friday night attacking rival Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for a statement made during his campaign announcement speech 16 days ago.
Rubio’s statement reads:
Trump’s comments are not just offensive and inaccurate, but also divisive. Our next president needs to be someone who brings Americans together – not someone who continues to divide. Our broken immigration system is something that needs to be solved, and comments like this move us further from – not closer to – a solution. We need leaders who offer serious solutions to secure our border and fix our broken immigration system.
The portion of Trump’s speech that has generated outrage amongst pro-amnesty liberal activists called out Mexico for the high number of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S. southern border who go on to commit violent crimes against U.S. citizens.
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” he said. “They’re sending people that have lots of problems… they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

When a politician emphasizes our “broken immigration system” rather than our “UNENFORCED immigration system” — that says all you need to know about that politician.

Excellent point.
You've never lived near the Mexican border, have you? Calling them rapists is absolutely spot on!
Rubio is finished.
He is a Tea Party fraud.
THAT is what is called political suicide and he just kicked away the stool he was standing on.
Trump is going to separate the pretenders from the contenders...
Regardless, Limbaugh’s lips will remain firmly glued to Rubio’s behind.
Marco Polo go away!
Rubio is working hard to convince everyone that he is truly just another wimpy RINO. Why does he think that the illegals are not murders and rapists? Maybe he ought to check the California crime figures and see what the illegals bring to America. It certainly is not all the illegals that are criminals but it is also certain that a great number are.
Bush, Rubio, Perry, Fatty Christie, just a few of the candidates that have ran their mouth about Trump and his telling the truth about illegals. The reason? He’ll be in the first debate and they want no part of him. He will make them all look like idiots. So time to team up with the democrats and destroy before he ever gets started.
Poor Marco. Trump is hurting him in the polls worse than any other candidate.
At the end of job interviews, I always ask a candidate to tell me their favorite show on television. The answers can be very revealing...
Well, now everyone should know what I knew when Rubio joined Schumer’s Gang to scheme against the citizens.
Rubio is a traitor who wants to surrender the rule of law and the country to fraududlently documented foreigners.
I have often wondered why anyone would still support Rubberio, there seemed to be some who wanted to fool themselves into believeing he had changed his mind about amnesty.
He has not.
Rubberio is owned by The Cheap Labpr Express.
Rubberio’s career was over when he joined Schumer’s Gang and schemed against the citizens.
They are all owned by The Cheap Labor Express and probably all have advisors provided by same.
Fox News and Krauthammer work for The Cheap Labor Express and will only tout amnesty candidates.
On the other hand, Fox has featured Trump often and on this morning had a great interview with him.
This guy’s a joke and I refuse to believe he’s number 3 in the polls right now.
What is “offensive” and “divisive”, and now “unserious” and “delusional” is Rubio thinking he’ll ever be president. Without conservatives, which he has lost (because he, like most RINOs and GOPEs, truly believe they can win a national election without the full support of the conservative base), Rubio will need the votes of most mexicans (legal and illegal) who aren’t going to vote for him anyway. The young illegal immigration enthusiast is not as bright as he appears to be.
Neither of these guys is a full-term governor. They should use their ammunition on the Goobers.
