Marco Rubio: In immigration reform, legalization comes first — ‘It is not conditional’

Let’s be clear

Emperor's derivative lingo.

[Sirius Lee]

Just blew his chances for POTUS for all time. And good luck keeping his Senate seat.

[Bikkuri]

Well, Rubio is a Dem in sheep’s clothing while Paul is a libertarian.. neither are Conservative.

[lodi90]

Drudge picked this up. Now it will get interesting.

Rubio is up to something with these comments. Too obvious and over the top. Almost like he tossed this stink bomb to get a reaction out of conservatives.

The Rubio amnesty is a planned out confidence job in progress. Nearly everybody inside the beltway is in on it. We are being played.

[abbastanza]

It's very sad. Rubio is an useful idiot just like the rest of the GOP. Schummer worked him like trained monkey.

[concerned about politics]

Can someone freaking explain to me why this is such a damned urgency?

Rubio wants their vote in 2016 when he runs for president. He's throwing the American citizens under the bus to get it. He thinks we'll vote for him anyway in 2016 - "or the other guy will win."

[NonValueAdded]

THEN THOSE COMMERCIALS ARE A FLAT-OUT LIE

Americans for a Conservative Direction, yeah, right. Rubio, one-term Senator.

I got a call today on my cell phone from Rubio’s office—a person, staff, not a robo call ...He asked me what I thought of ‘amnesty” for illegals. I said “NO way on this Bill tomorrow till that Border is secure!”

Now, I wonder if it was Rubio’s office or the GOP or whoever?

[indthkr]

"legalization of the nation’s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants must happen before any new border security.."

Screw Rubio.

Either our country has borders or not - deal with it!

[itsahoot]

Illegals and other moochers have more representation in Washington than taxpaying citizens.

There is more of them than thee are taxpayers, silly so of course they should get better representation.

[Jeff Head]

Bravo Sierra!

What happened to Border Security first, Marco?

What? So now you say one thing to us gringos and then another to your spanish audience?

Sorry, that’s a no go.

Very disappointed. He has some good positions...but now you wonder how many of them are sincerely held, and how many of them are just political opportunism?

SECURE THE BORDER NOW!

Just a few months ago, most people on FR thought this guy walked on water.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks Stanne. I appreciate the note of agreement.

[okie01]

There is more of them [people who don't pay income taxes] than there are taxpayers, silly so of course they should get better representation.

Actually, that's not currently true. The split is 53/47, with taxpayers still outnumbering the non-taxpayers.

But, if the immigration bill is passed, those percentages will reverse -- and non-taxpayers actually will outnumber taxpayers.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

[DoughtyOne]

Christie has gone so far down the rabbit hole, it’s hard to think of many Republicans who are worse. There are some, but he’s really disappointed me, and I was never in the Christie camp.

[House Atreides]

MARCO RUBIO = LIAR LIAR

[wastedyears]

Who were his fanboys? Where are they now?

[wastedyears]

He has every chance of getting the GOP nomination because of his stance. After all, if the Democrats decide that the Republicans need to run a wishy washy moderate, then that’s who the Republicans will run for president.
