MIAMI -- Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was loudly heckled by critics of his position on immigration reform on Friday night during a speech in his hometown to promote his new book.

Rubio spoke before several hundred people packed into an auditorium at the downtown campus of Miami-Dade College, one of several stops on a nationwide tour to promote his book, "American Dreams," which serves as his broadly written treatise on economic policy.

As they began shouting, Rubio told the crowd that he's among a few national political figures to be regularly heckled "by both sides of the immigration debate."
