Marco spent a full day in the Tampa, Florida area where he met with voters, local business owners and fishing captains.

At his first event this morning, a town hall meeting, Marco made the first in a series of proposals to reclaim America’s future by offering a clear alternative to the anti-growth, anti-job creation economic policies coming out of Washington. You can read the first of these proposals here.

He met with many members of the press. Here’s a picture of Marco talking with 10 Connects News (CBS) in Tampa
He also met with local charter boat captains and fishermen to discuss how the oil spill has affected area businesses.

Rubio: Justice Department’s lawsuit is a ‘waste of resources’

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Find article here.

GOP U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio said the federal government is wrong to step in as Arizona rolls out stricter standards for localized immigration control.

Here is some background on the Justice Department’s lawsuit.

Now, what Rubio said Wednesday to reporters in Jacksonville:

It’s a waste of resources. They should be focused on jailing terrorists and going after criminals and not suing a state that’s undertaken the constitutional right it has under the 10th Amendment to protect its citizens. As I’ve said repeatedly, I believe that immigration is best dealt with at the federal level but that states like Arizona, who are faced with a crisis at the border because of federal inaction and the federal government’s inability to do its job, they have an obligation and a right to take steps like this.

Earlier, we reported that Rubio’s potential Democratic opponent in the Senate race, Kendrick Meek, thinks an Arizona-style law would be bad for Florida tourism. (Click here.)
