Disturbing!

I find this story disturbing. I think he is trying to make a point about how great it is, relatively speaking, to live in the USA. In the process of saying this, however, he is indicating that he is willing to break the law.

Very disturbing!

Well in my haste to post this I made a typo with the title and can't change it. Oh well!

Here's what Rubio said:

...If my kids went to sleep hungry every night and my country didn't give me an opportunity to feed them, there isn't a law, no matter how restrictive, that would prevent me from coming here...
You wouldn't do the same? I find that disturbing.

I'm not a law breaker. What disturbs me the most is that he admits to be willing to break the law but THEN wants to represent Americans in congress. Even though there are plenty of them already there, I don't want criminals in congress, or as Vice President of the US either.

Why make it a partisan issue?

I presume you would let your kids starve to death and suffer rather than break any rule, despite how unfair it might be.

How can you possibly not get the point of his comments, and additionally make it a partisan issue?

His point is that he understands what drives people to enter this county illegally, and given the same circumstances, might do the same. Given his understanding, he is willing to try and modify immigration law to be a little more lenient to people who are both illegal immigrants, but in some respects, can be considered sort of a refugee.

You live in a sheltered, silly world of preconceptions and black and white it seems if you don't understand that, and would post a nonsense thread where you find it "disturbing" that he would do something illegal, without even slightly understanding his point, or understanding the meaning.

What scares the crap out of me is the probable guarantee that you vote in every election.

Im impressed that Rubio would actually say something useful, vs the same old republican party line of ignoring reality and making up simplistic solutions to poorly identified problems.

Disturging, is that like urging someone to do something from far away? Some sort of distance urging?

It is very easy to talk about what you would or would not do when you have never been ion the situation.

My father did things to survive in the camps that haunt him to this day. He did things to survive. Human instinct is to survive. When mortality is staring you in the face, morality tends to get kicked aside. Everyone has a different line to cross.

The fact that Larry does not comprehend this does not surprise me. The self righteous rarely do until confronted by reality.

I have been called "Disturbing" several times in my life. Once by a Doctor.

Was he saying that your stomach growling was disturbing him?
