We should be grateful that Rubio has exposed himself this far in advance of the election. Here’s a novel idea: how about enforcing the law? All this talk about the Rubio plan not being amnesty is a total fraud: those who register for the program will have achieved legal status and will not be required to leave the country. How is that not amnesty? Rubio’s focus on how strict the citizenship process would be misses two points: first, those here illegally should be required to leave the country (anything else is amnesty); and second, is this a bit anachronistic - how many low-income immigrants really want to become US citizens if they can stay here legally without citizenship? Maybe that is what immigrants wanted a couple decades ago, but how important is to most illegals today, separated from the right to remain in the country?
Exactly right. It always amazes me how many supposedly conservative people are fine with eliminating free speech when that speech fails to correspond to their ideological litmus test du jour.
The Rube, The New Jersey Blimp, Cry Baby Boehner, Light Loafer Lindsey, McLame, and on and on and on - The Old Guard as well as the Up-and-Comers in the GOP are simply pathetic.
Again, all of these elites own America & the sheeple have really no say. Amnesty will be here. A great nation destroyed from within, as most are. All this because the sheeple won't stand & defend.
