“I don’t understand all the vitriol being aimed at Florida Senator Marco Rubio over his views on immigration.”

Move to California, which used to be part of America.

Then you’ll figure it out.

“I don’t understand all the vitriol being aimed at Florida Senator Marco Rubio over his views on immigration.”

Californians elected politicians who pandered to Hispanics and the federal government refused to act to secure the border. Now, that beautiful state is a social and economic mess with a loopy leftist recently elected as it's governor. The time to stop massive illegal immigration - specifically from poverty-stricken Mexico - has long since passed. Today, with 12 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. the best we can do is to, finally, secure the border with Mexico, Rubio's first step in his plan, then try to manage the illegal population by bringing them into the legal immigration system and giving those who demonstrate a willingness to be productive citizens the chance for earned citizenship over a five-to-ten year period. That may not be a perfect solution but it is a start and to see conservatives rip Senator Rubio as if he wanted to just hand out U.S. citizenship to anyone who sneaks over the border is unfair and indicates a refusal to deal with reality and just criticize and complain, instead.
