---- • As a candidate, Rubio talks about securing the nation's borders and says he does not support amnesty for the millions of illegal immigrants already in the country.

But as the first Cuban-American speaker of the Florida House, he came across as more moderate and understanding of the nuances of the issue. During Rubio's final year as speaker,,,,,,, at least six bills intended to crack down on illegal immigrants....... Not one made it to a vote.

"He's all of a sudden saying, 'I've seen the light and I had nothing to do with those bills,' " said Bill Landes, director of the Florida Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. "But the real truth is it was him (and other South Florida lawmakers) who helped keep those bills in committee. He's saying what the people want to hear to get elected."
