Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio dismissed arguments Sunday that the Senate immigration bill offers amnesty for illegal immigrants and said border security is not the only key issue -- amid scrutiny from some fellow conservatives and the union that represents immigration enforcement agents.
Rubio told “Fox News Sunday” that anybody living illegally in the United States and attempting to get a visa would face a long list of qualifications, which includes paying taxes, a fine and an application fee as well as having a job and waiting for at least 10 years.

Louder!
He’s been saying this for a long time.
During the 1986 amnesty there was a million illegals who ignored the amnesty and didnt bother applying. Is Rubio going to say he the only problem is the illegals who wont sign up for his amnesty.
Hannity came out for amnesty a long time ago as well when he interviewed Condi Rice.
Quit selling your garbage, Rubio.
It is simply a bad idea to lure more illegals here with promises of citizenship.
Yes, the Hillary 2016 forces are out in force, The name Rubio is mentioned and lights start flashing and they release their prepared text. “We must start a 3rd party”; “Rubio is a Rino”, it goes on and on an on. He is definitely over the target and the dems and their useful idiot followers on this site can’t hit him. They know he can do what no minority conservative could ever do, make a permanent home for growing Hispanics in a conservative, pro Life, pro family Republican Party. The Progressive Democrats will land on the ash heap of History forever. Go Marco Go!
Given modern tech, communications, the level of depravity that I believe exceeds anything seen in Rome at the time, I think you are going to see everything happen nearly at once including the collapse, and subsequent nuking by our enemies namely Russia and China.
“I hope this is the end of this guy’s political career.”
It will be - it is just that today they know not better! Seems that way too many tend to listen to the media instead of their constituents. Normal operation for politicians.
He reminded me of a little kid saying...No, no, I didn’t do it.
Dang it, he could have been a contender!
Does anybody really believe that Rubio or any Republican is now going to become a fan against illegal immigration? Are you folks nuts?
All politicians are going for their best interests - now and long term, what do you expect?
As long as you continue to vote these asshats into office, you are to blame! If you want real change - vote these ASSHATS out of office at the first chance!!
I just put Ted Cruz in the Senate. I haven’t lived in Florida since I was 10.
Sorry, I was trying to comment to the whole thread via the author. It definitely was not meant toward you!
As to Curz, our man in the Senate - he is our man! He has so far been so good that I cringe at the thought of him not being there...heh.
All of our family love his positions and actions so far - can’t imagine him going soft thank goodness!! Sometimes Texas gets it really right!
Rubio can go straight to hell!!!
Yes, he has shown his stripes and they are political ambition without regard to beliefs. Time to let him go...too ad, he had potential.
