You have obviously a senator who represents Hispanics, standing up for illegal immigration, for the humanity behind illegal immigration. I don't think it necessarily helps Marco Rubio become vice president or a vice presidential candidate. Maybe it hurts his chances of becoming a vice presidential candidate. He's just walked across a hard line that a lot of Americans, not just conservative Americans, but very much the conservative base believes, which is breaking the law is breaking the law. And whether or not you might have done it, they don't deserve to stay. And so this is a very difficult issue for any Republican to transgress, and he just transgressed it. -Paul Glastris

Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio is often named as a possible vice presidential running mate for Mitt Romney. The senator is a Cuban-American, born in Miami, and popular with Hispanics. Previous to the U.S. Senate, Mr. Rubio served in the Florida House of Representatives for eight years. So Senator Rubio appeals to Floridians, a crucial swing state, which Mitt Romney must win if he is to become president of the U.S. Senator Rubio, age 41, could also help Romney pull the youth vote. Rubio new autobiography is called "An American Son." Here's Rubio on immigration - quote: 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. 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. Unquote.
