While discussing immigration policy in his new memoir, An American Son, Rubio called for "common decency" in dealing with undocumented immigrants and said that if put in a similar position as those who are fleeing destitution, he would break the law, too.
"Many people who come here illegally are doing exactly what we would do if we lived in a country where we couldn't feed our families," Rubio writes in his book, which went on sale Tuesday. "If my kids went to sleep hungry every night and my country didn't give me an opportunity to feed them, there isn't a law, no matter how restrictive, that would prevent me from coming here."
Rubio, a member of a political party that has largely opposed efforts to extend a path to citizenship to those in the country without documentation, has been crafting his own version of an immigration reform bill that would let some children of undocumented immigrants avoid being deported.
Rubio is considered a possible vice presidential running mate for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who spent the primary season voicing opposition to an immigration plan that would give those who came illegally permanent residency or citizenship without returning to their home country first.
*What the hell is his deal?
How in the hell can you say you would enter this country illegally if you weren't an American citizen, knowing your ass is being vetted as a Vice President!
Has he bumped his head to the damn white meat or what?
I guess we aren't surprised to hear Rubio say something like this, but then again maybe we are because he is trying to make noise to get attention due to the possibility of being a vice president.
On the real; to say something like you would cross the damn border illegally, (which truly your commiting a crime) is ridiculous!!
To say this, is not a good look for him or the latio's trying to stay in America. Rubio we believe, has just put his latio foot in his mouth. Not many American's take to kindly to folks crossing the border illegally. You would think with him being a Senetor, he would know that much.
Honestly he must not be very smart to say something like that.
Truly, if people buy into Rubio's so-called rhetoric that he's all for his people, then they are in denial. He cares nothing about his people. He only cares about climbing up the latter and making it seem as if he's out to help his fellow latino's in the process.
All in all he's a hot mess just like Mitt Romney. They both need to crawl under a rock and stay there because not many people are buying their ridiculous message!
