(Bloomberg Opinion) – Al Salvador President Naib Bukele may have found the best details for the new approach to the state’s secretary Marco Rubio: A laughing emoji.
After a federal district judge, the administration ordered to stop an American flight to deport Venezuela of Venezuela in their country, Bucle wrote on X, after the flight, “Uffsi … is too late.”
For many people watching Rubio’s career, an American court was stunned to see the American court on immigrants expelled for a cruel prison in a country ruled by a rulingist.
A lawyer, Rubio, created his political career, talking about being “immigrants and the son of exile” and condemned the human rights violations in countries such as Cuba, which was left during the dictatorship of his parents Fulgensio Batista.
But now, as one of Trump’s top lieutenants, Rubio is ready to partner not only with aggressive and copy, he has thrown his full support behind an inhuman pej of migrants of America without any procedure.
This is a lot of change from the 2008 Marco Rubio, when he was serving as the House Speaker of Florida – the first Cuba American to hold that job. Subsequently, the anti -immigration enthusiasm of the tea party was simply emerging.
Florida MPs from both parties proposed dozens of bills – from the plan of a Democratic MP to the police plans to restrict government benefits for adults unlikely to report Republicans to report suspicious unwarde immigrants. But that version of Rubio was more sensitive to the political consequences of a immigration crack. He refused to give a hearing to any bill and told the legislators that he did not want to look “anti -immigrant”.
Four years later, Rubio talked about her upbringing by the immigrant parents as they addressed the Republican National Convention. He established “American extraordinary” and the qualities of the promise of a country on the principle that every person has the right -given rights. ”
Today it is difficult to imagine Rubio to give that speech, especially after a Venezuela, a venezuela, after a Venezuela, a student of Georgia Nursing, Laken Relay, was given a more appropriate process than the owner of the Cuban business, which had no criminal history, which was taken away from his driveway by ice agents two weeks ago. (The man’s wife said that the man had tried to navigate the bureaucratic labyrinth to renew the permit of work and obtain citizenship.)
Today’s strategy is also far from the imagination of the future Rubio, when in 2013, as one of the two-faceted groups of senators known as “eight gangs”, he proposed an immigration reform plan, which provided citizenship for 11 million migrants, but was never passed. This was “to bring people out of the shadow” “in our national interest”, Rubio said at that time. “This is what we are. We are the most kind nation on earth.”
Three years ago, Rubio was still in favor of compassion and law. He criticized the Kapale, who declared the emergency situation due to the broader gang violence and then used the army to arrest thousands of people without any procedure. Rubio called it a “really disturbing situation” and said that Bokele “very openly criticized the US and other Western institutions and made fun of them.”
But Rubio is now joking. “Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take his visa,” he recently prouds after canceling hundreds of visas.
He has ordered his employees to disappear anyone guilty for reviving the social media accounts of visa applicants and making anyone “commotion”.
It is true that the state department has a comprehensive right to cancel the visa from someone whom they consider the danger. But according to the law, it should be very specific foreign policy reasons.
Many foreign students caught in Rubio’s sweep have been accused of no crime and have been targeted as the administration has found its Palestinian speech objectionable. Some have been denied or denied. Some are permanent residents or married to American citizens.
Dario Moreno, a professor of political science at Florida International University in Miami, taught several classes with Rubio at school, he said that he does not know how Rubio is contradicting his positions with people of the past today, but he feels that there is political risk for some immigration policies of the administration.
“I don’t think the Cuban American, or Latino in South Florida, may probably agree with the roundup,” he told me.
He said, “To remove the privileged students who do not disturb people who look like members of the Ivage League universities or gangs, who do not bother people,” he said. They harass them that Trump’s order recently requires half a million people of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to leave America by the end of the month, even if they were given work permits in the US under a biden-era human parole program.
Scholars also told me that they see dangerous similarities between the policies of Castro and Trump administration. He was surprised that Rubio does not even see him.
,[Castro’s] The discourse was essentially similar to Trump, which, if you do not agree, get out of this country, and if you are not the right kind of cuban, you are not here, “Lilian Guer said, a professor of Cuba and a professor of Caribbean History, until he knows anything about the real factors of the ruling state in Cuba.
Professor of Politics and International Relations at Florida International University, Eduardo Gamra said that political practicality and foreign policy about Rubio stems from realism.
Rubio is unlikely to run to the elected office until he moves to the President, so he changed his loyalty to Trump. He was “appointed to serve only one person – the President who separated any argument of multilateralism and American pluralism,” Gamra explained.
He said that the “realist” School of Thought believes that the national interests of the country are more important than its ideological grounds. This approach allows America to “expel people into a country that is known for cruel and inhuman treatment,” Gamra told me. “So Fidel’s torture is bad, but if the bouquet is doing it, it is good.”
This is the reason that Rubio and Bukle can now share a laugh. Whatever is not found, joking at it.
