Jeanette Rubio on the Marco Rubio she knows.
Marco’s law forces any country in the world that receives American aid to give birth certificates to little girls when they’re born. That may not sound like much, but that one piece of paper could save thousands of girls from becoming victims of human trafficking by preventing them from being sold.
