Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio dismissed as "silly talk" recent remarks by Democratic rival Hillary Clinton that GOP contenders "range across a spectrum of being either grudgingly welcome or hostile towards immigrants."

"That's silly talk," Rubio, a son of Cuban immigrants, told a small group of reporters in Iowa on Wednesday after speaking at the Cedar Rapids Country Club during a campaign stop. "She'll continue to say silly things like that, I imagine, because she feels the heat from the left in her own primary."
