Sen. Marco Rubio acknowledged May 13 that his support for an immigration-boosting bill has damaged him — but also promised he would try again to pass the controversial legislation.

“I get that, politically, that would have been a smarter thing” to let other legislators draft the bill, Rubio told reporters at a D.C. event in the National Press Club.

But “for this country to move forward in the 21st century, it needs to solve this,” Rubio stated.

“I made a decision a long time ago when I got involved in public service that I would do so to make a difference, not simply to score points,” he said.

“Sometimes that makes you well liked, sometimes that make you controversial, but that’s the only thing that makes it worth it,” Rubio said, after saying public opposition is cause by fear that the bill would not stop future illegal immigration.

Polls show the public strongly oppose illegal immigration and Rubio’s call for a greater inflow of skilled foreign workers.

Well, if moving forward means putting Americans to work, so that they don't have to depend on food stamps, then the best thing we can do is to declare a moratorium on immigration.

Americans first in this magnificent country

American jobs for American workers

Fair trade, not free trade

Moving forward would be catching up on 30,000,000 deportations after 99% completion of securing the border!

In these times if we don't deport, wages and America's middle income lifestyle is a bust!! Americans pay is diminishing now with these present aliens, we do not need them or more! Especially when a prominent Republican leader wants to give them all one free kill of American citizens!! Of all the stupidity!! However, Reagan essentially did it, so why am I surprised????
