A one time GOP frontrunner who has slipped in the polls but recently regained some momentum is bashing Marco Rubio’s entirely unprincipled stance on immigration:
Add Rand Paul to the list of GOP candidates who are bashing Marco Rubio’s immigration stance.
The Kentucky senator said on Laura Ingraham’s radio show Tuesday that Rubio has opposed every attempt at border control. “I would remind the country that Marco Rubio has opposed everything that we have tried to do to control our borders, to make it such so that people can’t come in here to attack us under false pretenses,” Paul said. “He and Chuck Schumer had basically a secret agreement that they would oppose all conservative amendments to the immigration bill.”
Paul was referring to Rubio and Schumer’s work as part of the Gang of Eight, a bipartisan group of senators who unsuccessfully tried in 2013 to push a comprehensive immigration reform package. “Marco Rubio decided that his allegiance to Chuck Schumer was greater than his allegiance to conservative ideas,” Paul said.
People may disagree with Paul on a number of issues, but he’s the only candidate whose approach respects both the need for borders and the protection of civil liberties. Rumored to be in the race for the long haul, expect Rand to ramp up this sort of rhetoric over the coming months.
