Florida Senator Marco Rubio publicly supports former President Donald Trump’s proposal for mass deportations during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Rubio emphasizes the need for a “dramatic” approach to address what he describes as an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants in the United States.
On Sunday, Rubio stated his strong backing for Trump’s plan to carry out the largest mass deportation effort in American history if he returns to the White House. “We have to do something dramatic,” Rubio declared, arguing that the U.S. is facing an invasion with an estimated 25 to 30 million people living in the country illegally.
Rubio insists that the U.S. immigration system is overwhelmed and unable to manage the current number of immigrants. He contends that the volume of illegal immigration has surged significantly in recent years, leading to what he describes as a crisis that requires immediate and substantial action.
Former President Trump has made immigration a central theme of his potential 2024 campaign, promising to implement the largest mass deportation effort in U.S. history. Trump’s proposal involves the removal of millions of undocumented immigrants, a stance that has sparked both support and controversy across the political spectrum.
Rubio’s endorsement of Trump’s deportation plan highlights the ongoing debate within the Republican Party over immigration policy. As Trump continues to solidify his influence among Republican voters, support from prominent figures like Rubio signals a potential alignment on this divisive issue.
The proposal has elicited strong reactions from various quarters. Supporters argue that strict immigration enforcement is necessary to uphold the rule of law and protect national security. Critics, however, warn that mass deportations could lead to humanitarian crises, disrupt communities, and damage the U.S.’s international reputation.
Rubio’s statements on “Meet the Press” have further fueled this debate, drawing attention to the complex and contentious nature of immigration reform in America.
