Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) pushed back against fellow Republican candidates who use the term “anchor babies,” including former Florida governor Jeb Bush and billionaire Donald Trump.
In an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood, Rubio insisted that these children were human beings.
“Those are human beings and ultimately they are people, we’re not just statistics, they’re humans with stories,” he said, when asked by Harwood what he thought about Donald Trump’s plan to block citizenship for babies who were born to illegal immigrants in the United States.

hear vice here too early in the morning.
This has to be a top contender for the Utter Irrelevancy Award, and makes Rubio a contender for the Political Darwin Award for 2015.
WE? Is Rubio an anchor baby?
The duty of any office holder in the Federal Government is crystal clear; it is to the Constitution; to those the Constitution seeks to protect; to the rooted citizens of the federated States, including--in the clearest possible language in the preamble--the "posterity" of the Founding Fathers. Protecting that posterity involves the survival of the culture that has made us the most prosperous collection of States in human history.
Marco Rubio is very good, I have applauded him for several years, in expounding on why our economic system works so well, when it is allowed to work--not, really, since Obama. But if he cannot separate compassion from duty, he is not fit to serve; he is not observing his oath; he has compromised himself, as surely as if he had taken a bribe to ignore his duty.
Life is full--has always been full--or hard choices. No one ever said public service was supposed always to be easy. But it involves duties, and we can no longer afford--and thus tolerate--people willing to compromise those duties.
I feel compassion for Marco Rubio in this--a variety of the compassion that he expresses, but directed at the fall of one, I hoped would be an ally; not someone here because of criminal connivance. But that compassion I feel for Senator Rubio, will never blind me to my duty.
...who are citizens of the other countries from which they arrived and belong there, not here.
Mr. Rubio, do you lock the door of your house at night, or let anyone come in to do as they please? I’m sure they have stories to tell as well.
They want illegals to be able to keep the money after robbing the bank.
Charlie Manson is person too you Frickin moron
Hey, Marco. EVERYONE has a story. That does not give them them the right to invade another country.
So do Americans!
I am tired of all this pandering to illegal aliens. Anchor babies are the children of illegal aliens. The 14th Amendment does NOT grant them citizenship.
Children suffer the consequences of their parents actions all the time.
Why are these kids different?
Anchor babies are stakes set in the ground for a claim - nothing more.
The claim, like a gold mining claim, is not valid until it has been properly registered in the local repository of records for this very purpose.
There was an old expression, from days of the California Gold Rush, of “claim jumpers”, those who illegally moved the stakes to encroach on the claim of another, before a formal registration of the claim could be made.
The claim still has to be validated by the proper authority.
When the child is of the age of majority, a special application to either pursue the citizenship of the parents, or the accident of geography, should be made, without this “dual citizenship” practice. But that applies to the child only, not extended to members of the family, who would have to go through the whole process of applying for legal residence and getting on the pathway to citizenship by the means already stated in existing law.
OK, but they shouldn’t be US Citizens, Mr. Amnesty!
Boo hoo.
Stick to your guns Marco.....you’ll go away that much sooner
Marco Rubio has officially jumped the shark.
or undocumented babies
