REPORT: 'GANG OF EIGHT' TO OPPOSE AMENDMENTS TO THEIR IMMIGRATION BILL
Breatbart ^ | 4/8/2013 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 04/08/2013 4:23:05 PM PDT by plain talk

All the members of the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” pushing immigration reform in the U.S. Senate will band together to block any efforts by other senators to offer amendments to their legislation once it is introduced, the Washington Post reported on Sunday. In response to Nakamura’s article on Monday, Gang of Eight member Sen. Marco Rubio’s spokesman Alex Conant told Breitbart News that his description of the process being worked on is not correct.

Rubio better hadn’t say we have to pass it so we can read what is in it.

I understand that a bi-partisan compromise is a very difficult thing. Perhaps they think they even have a strong border-closed-first component — its all for naught. Those we are compromising with are intent on creating more “undocumented democrats” by their every move. If border enforcement can be executive-ordered away, what is our remedy?

We are bargaining from weekness. The terrible position of the Republicans that they “were sent here it get things done.”

Madness.

Agggh... I have had a bad feeling about Rubio for 2 years, and if he screws us on this he is the Fredo of the Conservative movement.

Up or down vote like Obamacare, that makes me sick...

What do you mean “if he screws this up?”

He’s done in my book. I won’t vote for him under any circumstance. Just another politico panderer willing to sell my country for power.

Mexicans are socialists, and they are bringing their brand of socialism with them as they invade our country. And we have a govenment that not only does NOT oppose them, but actively encourages them!

We are so screwed indeed.

The photo below is from the last immigration "reform" gang of guffawing goofballs (2007 I believe) .. what is it about immigration "reform" that does this?

Putting one over on us dummies is a kick? Well we showed 'em last time.

“He’s done in my book. I won’t vote for him under any circumstance.”

Yeah, I’m with you. We’re screwed with Rubio and we’re screwed with Hillary. So, it really doesn’t much matter who wins in ‘16.

Rubio is a conservative.

Everybody says so.

He said he was a conservative. People want him to be one. So he is one.

My logic tells me he is frighteningly unknown, but that’s logic. It’s based on true facts, but it’s logic and that’s out of style.

“Rubio is a conservative.”

Only in his own mind!

Not even in his own mind, just in the minds of those desperate beyond reason who want him to be what they want him to be.

It’s no different from what people do with Obama.

But there is no reason to think that Rubio thinks he’s a conservative, or that he even has a working definition of “conservative”.

All the members of the bipartisan “Gang of Eight”

I'm calling a major BS here. Any committee of Republicans and Demnocrats that includes Juan McNutts and Linda Graham is most assuredly NOT bipartisan.

Maybe they'll just "deem" it passed into law like they were trying to do with Obamacare.

Rubio simply being "deemed" a conservative for no concrete reason it would not surpise me in the least!!!
