More quotes by Marco Rubio
Americans chose a free enterprise system designed to provide a quality of opportunity, not compel a quality of results. And that is why this is only place in the world where you can open up a business in the spare bedroom of your home.
Marco Rubio
Here's the bigger problem with all this, we're not interrogating anybody right now. Guantanamo's being emptied by this president. We should be putting people into Guantanamo, not emptying it out, and we shouldn't be releasing these killers who are rejoining the battlefield against the United States.
Marco Rubio
The problem is, if El Chapo builds a tunnel under the fence, we need to deal with that too.
Marco Rubio
I feel bad for the kids that are in school right now and the young people all across America who don't realize that the grownups who are supposed to be running this country are the verge of leaving them as the first generation of Americans worse off than the generation before.
Marco Rubio
I asked the American people do not give in to the fear. Do not give into the frustration. We can disagree about public policy. We can disagree about it vibrantly, passionately, but we are a hopeful people. And we have every right to be hopeful.
Marco Rubio
How can I justify the Cuban Adjustment Act when there are people coming from Cuba saying that they come - that they have - that they should be treated differently from other migrants? But they're going back to that country.

Poverty does not create our social problems...our social problems create our poverty.
Marco Rubio
Donald Trump is not going to be the nominee, because we are not going to allow - people will wake up and we're not going to allow a con artist to take over the party of [Abraham] Lincoln and [Ronald] Reagan.
Marco Rubio
The key that opens that door is proving to the American public that illegal immigration is under control. And at this point, that argument cannot be made because it is not true, it is not under control.
Marco Rubio
I want immigration reform to pass, I want people to be able to come out of the shadows.
Marco Rubio
Florida is not going to vote for a con artist like Donald Trump.
Marco Rubio
Let's stop big government energy mandates like cap-and-trade, and instead trust the American innovator to make us energy independent.
Marco Rubio
Now, look, it's true, Americans do want leaders that will come to Washington, D.C. and work together to get things done, but that comes with a very important caveat, it depends what they're trying to do.
Marco Rubio
Obviously I don't agree with everything he [Donald Trump] says. There's a lot that we have a difference of opinion on. But we can't ignore that he's touched on some issues that people are concerned about. If you look at the statements he made this week, obviously I think he made them partially to recapture the limelight after having lost it.
Marco Rubio
American Dream Is Under Assault. People that haven't been able to find a job in months and this growing sense in this country that this is the new normal, well we can't accept that.
Marco Rubio
Obama wants to ruin America. Hillary [Clinton]too.
Marco Rubio
The vast majority of Americans want a government that creates the conditions for them to have a chance to get into the middle class, the kind of growth and the kind of educational opportunities. Most people would - the vast majority of Americans would much rather have a job that pays more than a welfare check.
Marco Rubio
You know those movies where the people in the audience are screaming, 'Don't go in that door!' because you know the killer is there? Well, it is the same thing with this debt. We know how this ends.
Marco Rubio
We need to repeal and replace Dodd-Frank act. We need to make America fair again for all businesses, but especially those being run by small business owners.
Marco Rubio
I really haven't had time to think about what I'm going to do as a professional attorney. There is no doubt that I am going to try to achieve something positive in the private sector. I think it's important.
Marco Rubio
