I’m not gonna defend Rubio, we’ll wait and see how he plays it. BUT, you took his quote OUT of context. He was not talking about illegals opening businesses and then realize the cost of government, he was talking about legal Hispanics doing that, and then becoming Republican voters, thereby narrowing the GOP’s Hispanic deficit in elections.
Again, Rubio will sink or swim on his own, but you did misquote him.
Shortly afterward a post here gave me the opportunity to comment on it while re-posted the exact text of his answer.
SOL comment with Rubios exact words#4
It is quite clear that his stated observations relate to promoting this amnesty was trying to convince the Rush listener that the same will happen with illegals after his amnesty plan passes(if it does) , which is preposterous.
He clearly didn't say “ Of course the same might not work with the undocumented under my bill as it did with LEGAL immigrants so if it passes into law we better pray that history doesn't repeat itself”
Because that would have defeated the dishonest point he was trying to make. In fact O has been repeating "America was built by immigrants' for the same dishonest purpose.
I still appreciate you pointing it out, good catch and helped me with my point.
