Rubio Silent on Immigration Reform

“After relentlessly defending an ambitious overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws for months,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) didn’t respond when House Republican leaders last week trashed it as a “flawed…massive, Obama-care like bill,” National Journal reports.

“The Florida senator’s office, which churned out countless press releases touting his interviews and speeches about the legislation, hasn’t said a word about immigration since the Senate passed the bill on June 27. The silence is a sign that, at least publicly, Rubio won’t try to dissuade the House from a piecemeal approach that excludes a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.”
