ALABAMA - In recent weeks, the small city of Springfield, Ohio, has been in the center of public attention due to the now debunked claims made by Republican leaders about immigrants eating and stealing pets. For Florida Senator Marco Rubio, the false reports have received more coverage than "real-world" issues revolving immigration.
The Republican Senator from Florida raises his concerns while speaking on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," arguing that the "cats and dogs thing" has taken the spotlight away from other cases in which high levels of immigration in small cities has unsettled residents.
