It's ridiculous and pointless for him to run for president. He must think that he'll get the Latino (read: Mexican) vote for the mere fact that he's Hispanic himself and because he's expressed a pro-amnesty view. White Cubans are generally known for being racist and looking down on non-Cuban Hispanics (Mexicans in particular). So if he thinks he'll appeal to Mexican voters, let him continue in his delusion.

Evidently he doesn't care that Americans need the jobs they are holding and that amnesty makes a mockery out of our immigration laws.

Marco Rubio on Immigration
And this is why the GOP nominee will lose in the general election in 2016.

The American Dream has been beat to death.
I'm not interested in anyone who is into perpetual war.
Or someone who thinks being an immigrant is something special.

Ted Cruz is 100X smarter and more qualified than Rubio.

And will probably lose the GOP primary just as bad.

What race is he?


Saying he is "Cuban" is like saying I'm "American". I'm American but "American" isn't a race or an ethnicity. Also saying Rubio is "Hispanic" is bull****.


In other words, he looks Spanish to me and I believe Rubio is a Spanish surname.


Are his ancestors European? Is he 100 percent Spanish (European)?
