In a Spanish-language interview Sunday with the network Univision, Sen. Marco Rubio, the leading Republican on the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform group, made his strongest statement yet that legalization of the nation’s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants must happen before any new border security or internal enforcement measures are in place, and will in no way be conditional on any security requirements.

“Let’s be clear,” Rubio said. “Nobody is talking about preventing the legalization...

How sad that the pols in Washington are working harder for illegal aliens than they are for their own constituents.

[no-to-illegals]

Unconditional?

[Madame Dufarge]

This is right out of the Muslim playbook.

One speech in English to the American suckers, one speech in Arabic to present their real position.

[FlingWingFlyer]

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

The Communist DemocRAT Party wants total control of the entire legislative branch of the "government" after the 2014 elections. This would give it to them. The total collapse of America is coming.

[Cyman]

Perfectly stated. I agree wholeheartedly.

[Oldexpat]

Just as I thought. The first thing that happens is every illegal gets a get-out -of -Jail-free card and can stay forever. This will touch off a race for the border.
Flights to Mexico will be all booked with people coming from all over the world to get in for amnesty. Plus..they will throw in 1.6 million pissed off Syrians just for good measure.
If we can’t kill it in the SEnate then get prepared to occupy the offices of your local Congress Critter to kill it in the house.

They were bought. Watch how many become $1,000,000.00 per year lobbyists.

Thanks Cyman.

When Americans take to the streets in mass this non-sense will stop.

A politician can pretend TEA Party attitudes and then also throw in “immigration reform” (instead of enforcement). If he gets his way on open borders, he’ll never face serious challenge for not voting for actual TEA Party issues.

[Hugin]

FUMR!

[DoughtyOne]

That’s probably true, depending on which District you represent. I’m sure Rubio has his future all planned out.

[Jim Robinson]

FUMR!

Rubio is a disloyal American. Yeah that’s right. He puts the interest of his ethnicity/race before the interests of the United States.

Although popularly elected, Senators ostensibly represent the State. The Florida Legislature ought find a way to remove/recall this traitor.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Says one thing to us in English, another to them in Spanish.

[Eagles6]

Just ...WOW! All out in the open now.

[Envisioning]

Let’s be clear, Rubio said.

Yes, let's be clear.

IT IS GLARINGLY OBVIOUS IT WILL BE UP TO

"WE THE PEOPLE"

TO SECURE THE BORDER BECAUSE OUR TREASONOUS GOVERNMENT HAS NOT INTENTIONS OF SECURING THE BORDER!

Yes, I am beyond pi$$ed!

[Buckeye McFrog]

They were bought. Watch how many become $1,000,000.00 per year lobbyists.

Shortly after Obama's first inauguration they brought Tom Daschle up to Capitol Hill and paraded him around in a Rolex watch and Armani suit.

Message received. Life for you as an ex-member of Congress can be VERY, VERY GOOD indeed if you're willing to cast the hard votes and play ball with us.

[Rummyfan]

FUMR! And FU to any GOP senator who votes for this abortion. Do these d***wads want a revolution? Cause the are certainly playing with fire.
