The Wisdom of Marco Rubio
20th June 2012
Steve Sailer always has that inconvenient fact or two handy.
Marco Rubio:
“Many people who came here illegally are doing exactly what we would do if we lived in a country where we couldn’t feed our families,” he writes in An American Son, which was released Tuesday. “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.”
Hm. Are people starving in Mexico?
Let’s take a look at the obesity by nation chart that Steve provides, taken from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Oh, look, the U.S. is #1, and Mexico is #2. Well. I guess not.
So what the fuck is Rubio on about? Or is this just Identity Politics infecting supposed conservative Republicans?
