Rubio Says if Gay is 'Central Issue' in Immigration Reform, it'll Make Things More Difficult

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) spoke with Buzzfeed's Ben Smith on Tuesday night during a wide-ranging 'Buzzfeed Brews' interview and one of the topics that came up was gay inclusion in immigration reform, CNN reports:

Asked Tuesday whether same-sex couples should be covered in any immigration package, Rubio said the group hadn't discussed the "pros and the cons of it."

"I can tell you this," he continued. "This issue is so complicated. The immigration issue has so many landmines and pitfalls that it's going to be hard enough to do, as is. I think if that issue becomes a central issue in the debate, it's just going to make it harder to get it done because there's going to be a lot of strong feelings about it on both sides."

Rubio, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, added he "respects peoples' views" and is "willing to listen to anyone's arguments" but reiterated, "I hope that doesn't become the central issue of this debate."

"I imagine that issue will eventually be confronted," he later added...

Immigration reform isn't complicated. The laws are on the books. Enforce them.

I don't buy into this faggot crap and I think most Americans don't either.

I also don't buy into children that have been brought here by their parents should have a direct path to citizenship. Deport the entire family. While it is a shame, it is against the law. Personally, I do not want to be around more people who do not speak the American language, do not have American values and are inclined to break American laws. We have large percentages of every America city filled with legal citizens that can't speak, have zero values and are criminals. To bad we can't send them back from where they came.

Yea right. Little Marco will go along with whatever Bath House Barry wants. Just like the sick Republican Troll he is. These people are beyond reprehensible. I can’t wait for 2014 to vote for more Republicans. /s. :(

How about “If you broke the law, NO SOUP FOR YOU” (AKA Amnesty).

Exactly, pray tell, what is the use of passing new laws when the enforcement of current laws is lax or non-existent??

What’s Rubio talking about? I thought EVERYONE in America were gay illegal aliens. I mean, that’s what the news media would have us believe, right? The Regime media gives the heterosexual legal citizen no voice, therefore we don’t exist.

Are you tired? Isn’t it time to form the Tea Party to replace a certain other party?

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.

Shitnshinola. Brightboy idiot Rubio is beginning to discern just what kind of corrupt filth he has tried to tie into.

Dumbass Kid will learn, or sink beneath the waves. We'll see where he is, if anywhere, in ten years.

Are there people proposing gay illegal immigrants not be granted amnesty? Or is it that only married illegal immigrants will be granted amnesty. Otherwise, what the hell are they talking about?

I think that Obamugabe made some statement yesterday about viewing homosexual shack-ups as equal to a married couple when it’s time to extend legality to the illegal aliens and their spouses.

Rubio - Obama Amnesty will have HomoAmnesty in it. There is no difference between Obama’s wants and Rubio’s wants.

Rubio is not a conservative
