There was a lot of invoking God, but, no one invoked Pope Francis.
Marco Rubio has hit a new low. He stated in order to be given a 'Worker Visa' the current Undocumented would have to pass all the tests President Obama outlined including background checks (which is interesting by itself since Republican candidates don't want background checks for guns), except Senator Rubio will not allow any Undocumented, pregnant women, wife, mother or stay at home dad to stay in the USA if they can't prove they benefit the US economy. Rubio wants to eliminate the part of the immigration code that allows relatives to come to the USA for permanent citizenship. The only people allowed to stay in the USA are the ones with merit. It wasn't clear as to whether or not the merit rule would apply only to the Undocumented. My impression was that NO immigrant would be allowed to apply for citizenship even legally applying if it wasn't based in merit.
