America is not perfect. It took a bloody civil war to free over 4 million African Americans who lived enslaved. It took another hundred years after that before they achieved full equality under the law.

I can tell you what I believe, particularly about Mexican-Americans: they are a community that has contributed greatly to this country, they work extremely hard, they've been very productive citizens of our country, and I think that's true of many ethnic groups in this country.

By the way on economics, South Carolina is an example to the country of what we should be doing as Americans. This country has a vast manufacturing base. It is growing in manufacturing where America is shrinking and it's because they have reduced taxes and lower regulatory burdens and been pro-business.
Marco Rubio
Image
We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system. And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.

I've seen how the left has used it to accuse opponents of their version of reform of being bigots and racists.
Marco Rubio

We have seen in recent years a large increase in the number of people coming in and cases of people going back, living in Cuba, but still receiving American benefits. That cannot be justified.
Marco Rubio

Presidents don't have the benefit of hindsight. You have to make difficult decisions based on the information that's before you at that moment.
Marco Rubio
Image
This is the only country in the world where today's employee, is tomorrow's employer.
Marco Rubio
Image
I owe a debt to America that I will never be able to repay.

I'm running for president because there's no way we can elect Hillary Clinton to continue the policies.

[Donald Trump twitts] Lightweight Marco Rubio was working hard last night. This is true. The problem is he's chalker and once a chalker, always a choker, I guess that's what he meant to say. He spelled choker, c-h-o-k-e-r.

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
Image
Let me start by saying that I do not enjoy nor relish the partisan role of attack dog. I never found any fun in that. I don't think it's constructive. I don't intend to become that here in the Senate.
Marco Rubio
Image
Once again, America finds itself with some leaders who believe we can ignore the world without consequences here at home. Apparently they're oblivious to the reality that we are less insulated from global events than ever before.
Marco Rubio
Image
This president [Barack Obama] is undermining the constitutional basis of this government. This president is undermining our military. He is undermining our standing in the world....The damage he has done to America is extraordinary.
Marco Rubio

I believe God has blessed our country. This country has been extraordinarily blessed.
Marco Rubio
Image
We believe in traditional values because without them, without the belief in an all-powerful God, then the very founding of our country was meaningless. It was founded on the principles that our rights come from God. If there is no God, then where do your rights come from other than what your leaders decide they are?
