Marco Rubio says he’d break our laws too

And the difference between the Democrats and Republicans is…

Marco Rubio says he would have no problem breaking the laws of our country if he needed to.

Hypothetically, if Marco Rubio were not an American citizen and could not provide food for his family, he says he would cross the border illegally to come to the United States.

While discussing immigration policy in his new memoir, An American Son, Rubio called for “common decency” in dealing with undocumented immigrants and said that if put in a similar position as those who are fleeing destitution, he would break the law, too.

“Many people who come here illegally are doing exactly what we would do if we lived in a country where we couldn’t feed our families,” Rubio writes in his book, which went on sale Tuesday. “If my kids went to sleep hungry every night and my country didn’t give me an opportunity to feed them, there isn’t a law, no matter how restrictive, that would prevent me from coming here.”

Rubio, a member of a political party that has largely opposed efforts to extend a path to citizenship to those in the country without documentation, has been crafting his own version of an immigration reform bill that would let some children of undocumented immigrants avoid being deported.

Rubio is considered a possible vice presidential running mate for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who spent the primary season voicing opposition to an immigration plan that would give those who came illegally permanent residency or citizenship without returning to their home country first.

See how they always try to pull on the heartstrings by portraying illegal aliens as innocent victims just trying to find work to keep their kids from starving to death? This is hardly the case.

It’s amazing how cavalier our “elected officials” have become in when advocating lawlessness. However, there are two things that always seem to escape this debate. Nobody else will say them, so I will.

1) You can’t have a First World nation with a Third World population

2) America can’t solve the employment problems for the rest of the universe

It’s as simple as that. We don’t have the resources or living space to let every poor and illiterate Third Worlder crash here. Even if we did, how is it in our best interests as a country to trade down?

I wish the illegal aliens no harm and I want them to find success and happiness, but they must find it for themselves in their own nations.
