On Immigration: Cruz Strong, Rubio Weak

The Washington Examiner's Byron York clarifies the positions Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have taken on immigration. Rubio has claimed their two positions are essentially the same. York shows this claim is false.

Rubio has been weak on immigration when it counted, when the Senate was voting on the Gang of Eight bill that would have basically legalized 11 million aliens here without permission. Cruz is on record trying to cripple that effort.

COTTonLINE believes Rubio's immigration stand is a deal-breaker, unless Rubio specifically and unequivocally renounces all amnesty schemes and basically says he'll enforce existing law. To date he has been unwilling to do so.
