Rubio not happy with GOP rep for calling illegals “undocumented Democrats”
HotAir ^ | Tuesday June 8, 2013

Referencing a Jay Leno one-liner, Burgess questioned fellow conservatives about the wisdom of giving citizenship to “11 million undocumented Democrats.” Laughter, some of it nervous, spread throughout the room. But not everyone found Burgess’ crack funny. According to several people who attended the June 5th gathering, Rubio glared at Burgess.

This account, confirmed by multiple members and staffers, sheds light on what is perhaps the most politically obvious — and perpetually underplayed — conservative argument against providing citizenship to the nation’s illegal immigrants. With all the noise surrounding the debate over policy specifics — security measures, enforcement triggers, future flow, interior oversight — there is still an underlying political argument whispered among some of Congress’s most conservative members: After 71 percent of Hispanics voted for President Obama in 2012, why should Republicans add millions more to the voting rolls?

That’s a primary element of a good joke or humor attempt: Truth must be present in order for people to connect to the humor.

The other factor act work against this bald-faced political power grab is the IRS story that’s been brewing for over a year on the Additional Child Tax Credit that the undocumented are cashing in on at astounding rates. There was a FR thread earlier this morning on it and included comments from the IG of the IRS on how slimy this practice is.

Undocumented Dems that are raiding the treasury through the claiming of dependents that aren’t even present in the US = we’re circling the drain faster than anybody even thinks.

Only they don’t get the 90 point checklist.

Instead try “Undocumented Mexican citizens”, to be absolutely sure that these individuals are not Klingons, but people who already have “membership” in their own country, but now reject their home and want to live in our home.

Perhaps the US government should offer to give Mexico foreign aid to change its form of government, so its economy improves, and there are economic incentives for its people to want to stay in their home country.

Rubio is Cuban first. Being American is a after thought. He played the game well enough to get elected, and can now push his real agenda. He is McCain with a accent. Invite the world, invade the world.

Why do these guys run as Republicans if their hearts are elsewhere? Probably so they don’t have to do battle in a democrat primary.

When the political winds shifted in Texas in the 1980s, just about every major Democrat switched to the GOP. However, many kept beliefs more at home in the party of LBJ and FDR than that of Reagan.

They're at best Rockefeller Republicans. Many are simply undocumented big government Democrats who run as Republicans.

Rubio has contracted the dreaded Rivera/Williams syndrome.

Named after Geraldo Rivera and Juan Williams, those suffering from this affliction may appear somewhat normal on occasion. However they seem to almost completely lose their ability to think, communicate and conduct themselves rationally when discussing race or ethnicity.

When challenged or questioned on any topic having to do with race or ethhnicity, victims of Rivera/Williams syndrome generally display extremely defensive and aggressive conduct.

This is often characterized by them becoming loud and argumentive, shouting down others and resorting to name calling and casting aspersions at those they disagree with.

They are often seen shaking their heads violently and holding their hands over their ears when others speak.

I prefer “criminal Democrats”, but some would see that as a redundant phrase.

Oh, dear. Now someone will have to create a "The Hispanic Community Frowns Upon Your Shenanigans" image.
