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.
