Gotta keep Rubio out there talking about this.

The more he has to try and defend it, the more he fumbles. And the more he fumbles, the more he says stupid stuff to drive potential supporters away.

Rush stand up against this.

America has the most, by far the most, liberal immigration on the planet.

What in the world, are we doing with all the immigration?

We are exporting jobs by selling factories to China. We do not have jobs for more immigrants.

Bring back US jobs, and stop importing ever more immigrants!

We need some legislation which will protect American manufacturing.

Tariffs increase the cost of things, but let’s bring them on.

We cannot export American jobs. Bring back American jobs.

Thanks.

Maybe the dumb ones like Cornyn and Ayotte have figured out they’re being played?

Rubio is gone. Even a taffy head like Hannity is starting to realize he was hustled by the guy.

What the heck was Rubio thinking??? Yes the immigration issue needs to be fixed, the illegals need to be stopped and they can apply through the legal process.

There is a process for people to come from Mexico legally. If the issue was just more unskilled workers to work slave wages then all they’d have to do is increase the number of legal immigrants, pretty easy.

This bill is an attack on American sovereignty.

I’ve been emailing Ayotte. I’m in MA and she may not pay attention since I’m not her constituent, but it’s the most I can do. Contacting my own senators would be a waste of time, but since I’m a neighbor it may have some impact.

Oh, and Cornyn is in that pension flap so he may be feeling the heat from a different direction and may need to keep in the good graces of Texas conservatives if he wants to remain a senator.

So we’ll know then by next week if Reid pushes this through...then the House will have it.

Report: "Rush just said the immigration bill may be losing support (Harry Reid's hurry)"

Response: Does not matter and something harmful will be passed. We are in that phase of our history where the leadership intuitively choses the most harmful course of action. Rush has no power.

Our leadership scorns and despises us, the American people. All the politicians want is our money, pleasure boys and girls, the finest wines, caviar and $150 per pound beef, new cars bought and maintained by the taxpayer, fine homes paid for by the taxpayer, credit cards paid for by the taxpayer and, of course, endless re-election.

I’m sure he’s heart-broken for Rubio.

It is important for opponents of the bill to refer to it as an illegal immigrant amnesty bill.

And as Bachmann has outlined, Boehner would push a harmless bill through, then the awful Senate version would prevail in reconciliation.

It’s got to be stopped sooner rather than later. GOP Reps have to be pressured not to sign some harmless bill that will be turned into the Senate bill after passage.

And the longer it drags on, the more the Republican sentors begin to doubt that being pro-illegal alien is the path to getting re-elected.
