Heritage: Our response to @marcorubio's criticism: http://t.co/TVBbfX9Mmi

My response to Heritage's response to Sen. Marco Rubio :)

I partially agree with Heritage. But then your concern and attention should be towards #WelfareReform, instead of stereotyping all Immigrants, if some, as some citizens do also, take advantage of what has been made available. Some honorably and some by fraud, but either way, it's a system defect, and not an Immigration problem.

You speak of Sen. Rubio's parents as if they only did the good things they did and the way they did them and prospered, as if they only did well because the programs of welfare and entitlement were not yet made available. As if the Rubio's would have behaved differently. You don't know that. And that suggestion is what is criticized.

With these welfare entitlements in place and available now, I have scrimped and saved, though I probably would qualify for many entitlements. It is just who I am. I'm sure others, including some of the illegal Immigrants, and possible citizens to come, will make this choice, too.  If we properly prepare and teach, testify of stories of fortitude, like that of Sen. Rubio's parents, and I dare say my own, and begin to move forward in reforming our antiquated tax codes, and some of our entitlement services and entitlement system, for both individuals AND CORPORATE, we can build up a great generation of responsible American citizens who only use the system as a safety net and trampoline. The way it was meant to be used.

You have some great arguments, some of which I agree with and I believe so does Sen. Rubio, from what I know of him. You have just applied them to the wrong debate.

Consider.
