“I’m wondering why it’s okay for your wife but not my parents”

“I’m wondering why it’s okay for your wife but not my parents,” Valencia said. “Why do you want to just give them “legal status” — what do you mean by that? Why not a path to citizenship?”

The former Florida governor told the student his wife, Colomba, had not come to the U.S. “illegally, so there’s a difference.”

“What’s the difference?” Valencia said. “You mentioned [citizenship] for ‘dreamers,’ but how about my parents?”

The GOP candidate turned away and looked for someone else to greet, but he looked over his shoulder to argue with Valencia when he found no hands to shake.
