Marco Rubio Amnesty Question?
ALIPAC Activists,
I just got an email about Marco Rubio supporting Amnesty because I included his name in the Republican's leaning towards Amnesty list in an email alert.
We know for a fact that as speaker of the Florida house Rubio blocked all of our immigration enforcement bills.
We also know that he flip flopped on his support for the Arizona bill SB 1070.
Someone recently sent info our way that Rubio was in the bag with Jeb Bush on supporting Comprehensive IMmigration Reform Amnesty (CIRA).
Of course, despite numerous tries we cant get an ALIPAC survey out of Rubio's campaign.
We need to decide this matter once and for all here.
Please help did in on the research on the question.
Is candidate Marco Rubio supporting a path to citizenship or CIRA for illegals or not???

BOB SCHIEFFER: A lot of the Tea Party folk around the country talk about Arizona’s new immigration law. And they’d like to see that modeled in-- in every state. This is the law, of course, that allows the police officers if they stop someone for another offense to check their citizenship.
MARCO RUBIO: Yeah.
BOB SCHIEFFER: I think when you first heard about this law passing, you said it would create a police state. What’s your take on-- on the immigration laws? Should we have something like the Arizona law?
MARCO RUBIO: Well, three things. Number one, Arizona legislature actually has changed the law after it first passed and prohibited things like stopping people because of ethnic profiling. And I think that was a positive change.
Number two, I think we need to recognize that states like Arizona, California, Texas and a few others-- New Mexico are in a very unique situation. Arizona has a huge open border basically with a country in Mexico that has an all-out drug war. And Arizona is not seeing the immigration challenges of that but the security challenges of that. The public safety challenges of that. So we have to understand why Arizona did this. And they have a Tenth Amendment right to have done it.
I’ve continued to say that the Arizona law should not be a model for the rest of the country. It should be a wake-up call to the federal government to once and for all take the issue of immigration seriously, particularly things like border security and the need for E-Verify system.
BOB SCHIEFFER: O--
MARCO RUBIO: If the federal government had been doing its job on immigration there never would have been an Arizona law.
