Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is defending his participation in drafting the "Gang of Eight" Senate amnesty bill, which offered illegal immigrants a path to American citizenship by allowing them to apply for a green card.
In an interview with Sean Hannity last night, Rubio explained that he was "trying to make a difference" by participating in the 2013 process with liberal Democratic Senators like Chuck Schumer to create the "most conservative bill possible" in a Democratic led Senate.
"What we underestimated is how much people distrust the federal government," he said, pointing out that Americans demanded border security first before addressing the problem of illegal immigrants living in the country.
When Hannity pointed out that conservatives still had doubts about Rubio's position on immigration, he freely admitted that he still supported the idea of giving green cards to some illegal immigrants.
"Now the majority position in our party is it should stop at just a work permit... I personally am open to allowing people to apply for a green card," he said, clarifying that it would only apply to illegal immigrants who lived in the country for 10 years, passed background checks, paid back taxes, paid a fine, and learned English.

Remember children, stealing is OK and it’s racist for someone to try and stop you.
This is like saying he supports bank loans for bank robbers.
RINO law on the march
For Schumer to come out like this, was shocking to me...but I'm glad he did it....
Other than a desire to install a liberal amnesty backer into the upper echelon of government, is there a reason P2 supports POS for anything but taco builder at a Mexican restraint in TJ?
Rubio is a GOPE disaster...say hello Hillary!!!
Rubio means “blonde” in Spanish. He is the joke.
And I still support Trump, so FU Rube.
Well, at least nobody can say he’s a flip flopper.
That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.
Pull out gun.
Aim at foot.
Pull trigger.
Aim at other foot.
Pull trigger.
Insert into butt crack.
Pull trigger.
I’ll admit I’m not the sharpest tack on FR but is he saying he wants to give green cards to people here illegally?
Gee, I missed it because I stopped listening to the RINO lover Hannity.
That right there is TRUMP material. Schumer just gave Trump a great big present. Does Donald know this? He should.
How can any of those candidates say they support amnesty for law abiding illegals since they broke our laws to enter our country illegally?
The amnesty in 1986 that was supposed to be less than 1 million that turned out to be over 3 million is the reason we have 30 million illegal aliens today. The 11 million figure they like to use is a lie and they know it.
Whenever you give people a pass expect more of the same.
