http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/272474-rubio-my-parents-wouldnt-have-gotten-into-us-under-myMarco Rubio admitted his Cuban parents probably would not have been allowed into the United States under the immigration policies in his presidential campaign platform.
The junior Republican senator from Florida, who is trying to get his struggling campaign back on course, was forced into a personal angle on his merit-based immigration policies in an MSNBC town hall on Wednesday night.
Addressing Rubio, a young man asked, "If you were to institute your merit-based immigration policy, wouldn't you be, I mean, shutting out people like your parents?"
Rubio replied, "Yeah, well, you wouldn't shut them out, but it's a different process. My parents came in 1956. The world is a different place from 1956.
