Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., spoke on Fox News this morning about Republican presidential candidatesâ comments on foreign policy, while also answering questions about a potential vice presidential run and immigration.
Rubio said thereâs a debate in the GOP right now over Americaâs foreign policy.
âWe are the party of strong national defense, that understands the role of America in the world and how every aspect of our daily lives, especially our economic lives, are directly impacted by things that happen halfway around the world,â Rubio said.
He added that we need âto examine all of our foreign aid, and make sure it makes sense,â adding that the âforeign aid we put out is very small part of our overall budget.â
Rubio said he will not reconsider a vice presidential run. âI am focused on my  job as a senator from Florida [and] making sure Floridaâs voice is heard,â he said.
When asked if conservatives should stop talking about immigration, Rubio responded, âJobs and the economy is the No. 1 issue, we should be focused on that â it should be 90 percent of our focus right now in terms of domestic policy.â Rubio said Latinos have been hurt âvery badly by the presidentâs economic policies and we need to make that case.â
On immigration Rubio, said legal and illegal immigration remains a problem that needs to be confronted. He added that the Republican Party âshould be the pro-legal immigration party,â saying itâs time for GOP candidates to start talking about âwhat are we forâ and about âhow we modernize our legal immigration system.â
