Senator Marco Rubio: “I think the biggest change hasn’t been in the pulpit, it’s been in the pews. The folks that are attending church, that maybe five years ago felt differently about this issue – now they’re worshipping next to an illegal immigrant family. Now they’ve met someone who’s in the circumstance.”
…
Rubio: “I think that’s where we are right now in this debate. Can we do enough about border security so that people will support doing something about the 11 million? And that’s what I’m focused on. That’s what I’m working on trying to accomplish. We’ve gone to my colleagues and what they’re saying is, ‘Look, we just don’t think it is enough. We don’t trust the Administration – quite frankly Republican or Democrat. We’ve been told that they’re going to secure the border before and that never happens.’”
…
Rubio: “Whatever is going to happen on this issue, whatever is going to happen with me, is what God’s already planned for me. My job is just to be obedient and faithful in that regard. And that’s really something – like everybody else – I struggle with that because the human side wants us to think about the here and now. But ultimately, I think if you try to approach every issue in life from the smallest detail to a big issue like this with that viewpoint, it gives you a sense of peace and calm about it you wouldn’t otherwise have.”
