Remember when Senator Marco Rubio kicked us when Latinos were down and out during a difficult Latino era when the Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer passed the harsh anti-immigrant law — SB 1070? We are now seeing Senator Marco Rubio taking a populist approach on the DREAM Act. He is clearly treating our youth like political footballs. Senator Marco Rubio kicked us when we were down when he stated his support for Arizona’s harsh anti-immigrant law and he stated multiple times that he was against the DREAM Act. Now that the 2012 Presidential election cycle is up and both parties need the Latino vote, we are hearing opportunist and populist Marco Rubio sing a different tune.
From Adriana Maestas in POLITICS365:
Beyond Florida, should Marco Rubio become the Vice Presidential candidate, he will likely face trouble out west where there are larger Mexican American and other Latino populations most impacted by the immigration issue. Cuban Americans and Puerto Ricans in Florida are less impacted by immigration because of their status; Cuban Americans have the Cuban Adjustment Act and Puerto Ricans are US citizens by birth.
