During his campaign, Marco Rubio has stood for stricter immigration policy and has argued that the U.S. should not accept refugees from Syria and Iraq because of their threat to national security.
And yet, Rubio’s own grandfather, Pedro Victor Garcia, benefited from compassionate immigration policies that Rubio now seeks to eliminate.
Garcia tried entering the United in States in 1962, almost three years since he had last visited the country for the first time. Without necessary credentials, Garcia had to plea in court for permission to stay in the country.
