He was born in Puerto Rico, so that may have something to do with his stance. He owns an insurance agency along with his "elected" position. I saw nothing impressive about him in my search. I suspect he speaks Spanish, so could heavily "court" that population if they were allowed to vote, while that would put a non-Spanish speaking rival at a GREAT disadvantage.
I suppose it would help him, and probably has helped him sell insurance.
He should go back to Puerto Rico, if he cannot support our system.
