WASHINGTON — With growing signs that Hispanic voters are turned off to GOP positions on immigration, Sen. Marco Rubio is trying to use his national profile to deliver a message to his party: Tone it down.

"The Republican Party should not be labeled as the anti-illegal immigration party. Republicans need to be the pro-legal immigration party," the Florida lawmaker said Monday on Fox News.

“With growing signs that Hispanic voters are turned off to GOP positions on immigration...”

Convicts don’t like loose talk about enforcing laws on the books to the maximum either. Duh.

How about the “growing Anglo” frustration and anger with illegal immigration, Marco?

What part of ILLEGAL doesn’t make sense to you?

And that, and that alone is why Rick Perry will never be President.

CORRECTION:

“With growing signs that illegal alien and criminal Hispanic voters, who aren’t supposed to be here much less be voting, are turned off to GOP positions on immigration,...”

Legal immigrants OTOH aren’t turned off are very much in favor of enforcing the border and immigration laws!

If there are 30 million illegals in America, that translates into nearly 50 congressional seats based on census counts alone.

Yeah sure, we can let it slide for another decade or so. /s

I dated a Serbian woman who despite being liberal, said that America is finished if something isn’t done about illegal immigration like yesterday.

What good does it do to mop the floor when the pipe is still leaking?

We are trying to save the country. Illegal immigration is a top problem.

Americans do not want illegals in the country and they do not want to pay for them.

If Americans really wanted the invasion of illegals, the Obama administration would have granted amnesty when they had the House, the Senate, and the White House.

They didn’t do that because they know they will lose voters.

The dems would like nothing better than having the Stoopid Party grant the amnesty. Then they will do exactly what they did with Black voters. They will take the credit and the votes.

I hope Rubio is not a part of the 2012 ticket. However, he might ensure that we receive a large portion of the ILLEGAL vote.

Only if your state, county, city or precinct allows their vote to count. We passed a voter ID law here in Texas...what about your state?

I Wish the MSM would learn the DIFFERENCE between LEGAL and ILLEGAL immigration and how Conservatives feel about it.

Conservative Position:

PRO LEGAL IMMIGRATION
ANTI ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Inastead the MSM paints Conservatives as being “ANTI IMMIGRATION” and makes no effort to difrentiate.

They do this because it furthers their Liberal craptastic agenda.

Wrong. Congressional districts are a direct result of census counts. No voting necessary.

I WILL NEVER ACCEPT THOSE HERE ILLEGALLY AS AMERICANS. rubio is now persona non-grata with because of this pro mexican/pro illegal invader stance... the only AMERICAN position on immigration is to support ONLY LEGAL IMMIGRATION... anything else... might as well keep the dims in power and turn the country over to la raza and the reconquistas.

How exactly do you tone down; routing out illegal activity?

If we don’t give them amnesty, we will lose the Hispanic vote. /s
