MIAMI (AP) — Marco Rubio's campaign has unveiled a pair of ads to promote his hardline stance on immigration and counter criticism from Jeb Bush and other Republican rivals on the contentious issue.

In one ad, released Friday, Rubio says on camera that he opposes amnesty and would deport "criminal aliens," and will roll back President Barack Obama's executive orders allowing certain people, who entered the country illegally, to stay.

The other ad features a woman whose brother was killed in 2010 while working as a U.S. border patrol agent in southern Arizona. From the "border to the battlefield," she says, Rubio "will give people like my brother the support they need."
