What a tool you are Marco. You benefited from the same immigration policies you and Trump want to reverse. History if it remembers you at all will be that of a sad sack of shit with no principles.

I wonder what that punk thinks about the Mariel boatlift of 1980 and how he weighs it with The Caravan™ of today?

So, I did a little digging and saw this. Two years ago he was quoted.

He’d sell his own people if it got him advanced politically.

Marco Rubio recalls experiencing racism during Mariel boat-lift

Sen. Marco Rubio recalled the racism he faced as a child as Cubans immigrated to the U.S. during the Mariel boat-lift of 1980.

“Some of the kids, the older kids, were taunting my family: ‘Why don’t you go back on your boat?’” Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, said during a GOP candidates forum Wednesday in South Carolina. “I said, ‘What boat? My mom doesn’t even swim.’”

Rubio said he was a 7-year-old living in Las Vegas when the Mariel boat-lift took place during an economic downturn in Cuba. As many as 125,000 Cubans in six months made the journey from Mariel Harbor in Cuba to Florida.

“I didn’t see it as a reflection on America; I saw it as a reflection on those kids,” Rubio said, adding that his parents, who immigrated to the U.S. from Cuba in 1956, raised him and his siblings to never believe they were victims.
