3:45Now PlayingMarco Rubio was doing a town hall that nobody watched. Someone asked him if his immigration plan would shut out his parents. It would. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Wednesday night defended his proposal that the United States legally accept immigrants based on their skill level when asked during an MSNBC town hall whether his policies would have admitted his own parents into the country in the 1950s.
During the town hall moderated by MSNBC's Chuck Todd, an audience member asked Rubio, "If you were to institute your merit-based immigration policy, wouldn't you be shutting out people like your parents?"
"Yeah, well, you wouldn't shut them out, but it's a different process, no doubt. My parents came in 1956. The world is a different place from 1956," Rubio said in response. "When my parents arrived in the U.S. in 1956, my dad had a fourth-grade education, maybe. My mom had about the same. If they came today under those circumstances, they would really struggle to succeed.””*
