Senator Rubio now is being called the Republican
"establishment" candidate. This label seems based on his
support for making citizens of illegal immigrants. Rubio sees no problem
with more immigrants lowering wages for Americans. He wants more
immigrants to support the cruise ship industry in his native Florida. This is based on the fallacy that Americans can't be found who will do these jobs.
His signature immigration legislation failed in the Senate two
years ago, but Rubio apparently hasn't changed his views that legalization must
precede stricter immigration controls. See Rubio's Immigration Dilemma This piece is a must-read if you
are considering voting for Rubio this Tuesday.
Trump's rise has to do with his sense that Americans no longer see
our immigration policies as making any sense for the realities of the nation's
economy. And it is frankly ridiculous to claim that Americans won't do
these jobs, as many of the open borders advocates claim.
The recent Disney case, in which the popular Florida resort
decided to fire 250 IT workers in favor of cheaper immigrants on H-1B
visas--and make them train those immigrants in order to receive their
severance packages--demonstrates how out-of-step many big businesses are with
the American common good. See Disney Fires American Workers
No wonder so many average Americans are flocking to a huckster
like Trump who at least says he has the interests of working
Americans at heart.
