This past Monday, Marco Rubio, Florida Senator and possible Republican presidential candidate, spoke out against Obama about immigration laws. In the past, Rubio had advocated for illegals to come here then get citizenship but now his mind has changed. He wrote a letter to President Obama stating his concern that allowing these illegal immigrants to get work permits while being here illegally will "close the door on any chance of making progress on immigration reform in the foreseeable future." The White House declined to comment on this letter. Rubio hopes to make a difference with this and bring it up to a national level by starting with a bill to improve border security.
I chose this event because it is an issue we have continuously seen on media and has become a bigger issue. Now that an official has spoken out against what President Obama is doing with immigration laws, it seems to spark people's confidence to also speak up about it.
My questions for you are: Should illegal immigrants be able to get a work permit without being a citizen? and Do you think Rubio made the right decision by speaking out against President Obama's plan? Rubio Warns Obama Against Executive Action on Immigration
