Marco Rubio blasts Ted Cruz's "military-style roundup" of illegal immigrants
CBS News ^ | February 24, 2016 | Reena Flores

Posted on 02/24/2016 5:40:29 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Coming off a distant second-place finish in Nevada's Republican caucuses, Marco Rubio joined "CBS This Morning" to discuss his campaign future and to take a jab at the recent immigration proposals of his closest rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

"Bottom line is I don't think this country supports -- and I do not -- military-style tactics," Rubio said early Wednesday. He also slammed Cruz's proposals as "a change of position" for the senator because Cruz is "under duress in this campaign."

Rubio was referring to Cruz's statements earlier this week where the Texas senator insisted that he would send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to round up any immigrants in the United States illegally -- not just those who have committed crimes. Cruz's positions echoed those of GOP front-runner Donald Trump, who has promised that he would deport all undocumented immigrants during his presidency....

Trump & Cruz’s so-called flip flops have destroyed Rand Paul & Rubio doubling down on amnesty.

I don’t know what game the rube is playing but he sure is not trying to win the republican primary.

Maybe he wants the VP spot or maybe it’s something else.

Rubio’s commercial just played that he was a child of the Reagan Revolution

He was a freakin 13 year old! What did he know about Reagan at 13?

You’ve got that right!

I look at Rubio and see nothing but a greasy fast-talking slimeball with an 8am five-o’clock shadow.

Had high hopes for him way back when. Now I can’t even stand to look at him, much less listen to him.

Odd that Rubio has changed his tune. Have noticed over the last couple of days he has been all for the illegals. I guess he decided to give up the charade.

I guess Rubio’s tactic is to try to get Cruz to drop out. Rubio can’t be gone soon enough to suit me.

“Military style roundup”

Well Marco, how else do you deal with a literal INVASION of a sovereign country by citizens from ANOTHER COUNTRY?

What about Tax Cheats Marco? If I don’t pay my taxes and they come to my house to arrest me will you be there to stop them because they send in a SWAT team to “Military Style” Round me up?

It’s way past time to round them up and move them out.

Did Trump say that he would use military types of roundups to deport illegals? I think I heard Trump say that the illegals have got to go. There are other ways to get rid of the illegals, like e-verify and cutting off benefits. I don’t think Trump would deploy the First Marine Division to East LA.

It was Clinton that did the “military style roundup” with Elliot Gonzalez. Cruz said nothing of the sort. He said ALL illegals have to be deported. He did not say anything about military roundups.

Rubio is grandstanding to try to distract from his record as a turncoat on immigration. We can do better.
