Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., produced a press release today claiming that his new “Border Security, Economic Opportunity & Immigration Modernization Act” creates “six security trigger steps that must be met before any currently illegal immigrant is given access to a green card.” And it is true.

Ditto x100 to that den of thieves in the Senate. I don’t trust a one of them.

Agreed. It's time we put a world class states(wo)man in the oval office. Rubio is a promoter, not a statesman!
I’m with you on that. NO EFFING WAY.
How about CARTEL OCHO.
