Rubio is Cuban-American and takes a lot of pride in that heritage. His parents came to the U.S. from Cuba in the 1950s, and they worked humble jobs—his dad was a bartender and his mom worked service jobs. He grew up in Miami’s Cuban community, surrounded by immigrants determined to improve their lives. That upbringing shaped his beliefs about hard work, freedom, and why people come to America. He often talks about how his family sacrificed so he could go to school and succeed. It’s part of his political message. He sees America as a place where a child of immigrants can reach high office.
