Connect immigration to employment, declining birth rate
He said his status as the only Hispanic candidate in the GOP race gives him "a lot of credibility" in a conversation about reforming immigration laws, though he was vague about what he'd propose. "I do think that we need to right-size legal
immigration and that it should be connected to our employment rate and our declining birth rate," said Suarez, who has Cuban ancestry. "And I do think we have to do something with those who are undocumented in our country."
