<p>Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) blasted Democrats during an interview over the weekend for prioritizing funding for Ukraine while neglecting fixing the &#8220;invasion&#8221; that is occurring on the U.S. southern border.</p>
<p>Rubio made the remarks during a Sunday interview with CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper on &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; while talking about bills to help fund Israel and Ukraine.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t oppose giving them the help that they need, especially in the case of Israel,&#8221; Rubio said. &#8220;And if you put the Israel thing up to a right now, it would pass. I don&#8217;t even know, maybe a couple of people would vote against it, but, basically, it would pass very quickly. The problem is, Israel is being held hostage so they could get Ukraine.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I have to explain to my constituents, I have to explain to the people of Florida, I have to explain to the American people because I&#8217;m a U.S. senator, and my number one obligation is America. If America is not strong, we can&#8217;t help any of our allies,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And I will have to explain to them why the Senate is going to work all through Super Bowl weekend, which is fine with me. we&#8217;re going to make a big priority, except on something that&#8217;s critical to this country, which is the invasion that&#8217;s going on, on our own border, on our own border.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;According to a House committee and the documents and the statistics they put out — I think these numbers are low, but let&#8217;s just use them — 3.3 million people have been released into the country who arrived here illegally,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Over 600,000 of them either have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges against them.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I mean, this is a huge problem and it has to be addressed and they put out a bill,&#8221; he added. &#8220;They can call it whatever they want. It wasn&#8217;t a border security bill. It wasn&#8217;t tough. And, frankly, it was negotiated by three people. I don&#8217;t begrudge it, but I wasn&#8217;t involved in that negotiation. I didn&#8217;t even ask for a bill. I asked for the president to reverse the executive orders that created this crisis when he took over in January of 2021.&#8221;</p>
