WASHINGTON (AP) - Looking to connect with the conservative base of his Republican Party, Sen. Marco Rubio says he is sympathetic to Americans who "feel as if we are being taken advantage of" by immigrants in the United States illegally.
The rhetoric, which is in Rubio's new book, comes as the Florida lawmaker lays the groundwork for a potential presidential campaign in 2016.
Rubio, a first-term lawmaker whose parents came to the United States from Cuba, previously wrote and championed a comprehensive overhaul of the nation's immigration system that passed the Senate...

Way too little, way too late, Rubio. We know who you are & you are not a conservative.

No Rubio doesn’t.
He’s an open borders nut like the rest of insiders.

Rubio took advantage of his supporters by lying to them that he wasn’t another big gubmint statist. He needs to be shown the door.

Yes, we just “feel” we’re being taken advantage of, there’s nothing to our feelings though. *snort* They get welfare, HUD, food stamps, WIC, ADC, Obama phones & who knows what else. WE pay for that. I KNOW I’m taken advantage of by illegal immigrants, I don’t just “feel” it Rubio.

Not immigrants, illegal aliens. And the frustration is with crooked politicians, who encourage them to break the law.

Understand this, Mr. Rubio.
“Illegal aliens” are what is in the United States illegally.
Not immigrants.
Your purposeful twisting of language reveals your agenda.
I can’t wait to vote against you, and I’ll replace you with a democrat if I have to, because the only thing I hate worse than a democrat lying to me is a republican lying to me.

We take in too many legal immigrants in addition to the hoards of illegal aliens.

"We are a sovereign country that deserves to have immigration laws," Rubio said. "You're doing harm to your own cause because you don't have a right to illegally immigrate to the United States." The crowd cheered him on. One elderly audience member shoved a protester as he weaved his way through the tables. Another, 73-year old Army veteran Turk Culberson, angrily stalked them out of the building, clutching his cane as if it were a baseball bat. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/08/26/politics/rubio-sc-fundraiser/

What American would want to see more 3rd world immigrants come to America? We have 330 million people here in the USA already . that is enough. We have no jobs. Liberals are insane. I don't want any more immigrants legal or illegal to come take away the jobs of Americans .Enough. I see many cities overrun with 3rd world immigrants. most jobs are going to immigrants. What's wrong with liberals? You want to lose your jobs too? Rubio sucks. We need Tom Tancredo again.

Too many Americans and green card holders are out of jobs and illegals are here to take them. Easy logic to understand.
The worst part is we are forced to listen to their third world language. Effing Press 1 for English.

It sickens me to see many U.S. cities overrun with 3rd world immigrants. I feel like I’m in Mogadishu, Haiti, Pakistan, etc in many U.S. cities. This is why we have problems and politicians want to pander to the leftist immigrants not to us Americans who are for limited government

A relative had to go to the SS office yesterday here in Texas. She said it was crammed packed with Mexicans, most likely illegals, of all ages. Not a one spoke English and they were all signing up for SS. She said it was so crowded that folks were waiting outside.
We can thank OAzzole’ for this and it is going to cost us trillions more on top of what we already gotta spend for moochers.

I agree. We can’t absorb who is coming in. Way too many legal and illegal. I also have to say the mix of mostly just 3rd World, non-white people is being done on purpose to destroy the middle class white population.

I got that beat. One of our new employees had to register his car at the DMV and 90% of the crowd were all illegals. It’s now legal for illegals to drive in CA. Whomever thinks we will not see a civil war in the next 15 years is whistling past the graveyard.
I just came from canada 2 days ago and my cousin who runs a remittance company says the most idiotic “why should I show you my ID” whiners are the latinos.
