RE :”The media and many Senators have been trumpeting a new amendment to the bill by Senators Bob Corker (R-TN), John Hoeven (R-ND) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY), saying it would fix the border security holes in the original legislation. But Heritage experts have explained why the amendment is deeply flawed and “does not even promise a reduction in illegal immigration.”
The new border-security language isn’t the only change. When the revised bill was released Friday afternoon, it had ballooned to 1,190 pages. Our colleagues at Heritage Action spent the weekend combing through the bill for other changes. Several sweetheart deals are included in the new bill text, such as special treatment for Alaskan seafood processing and $1.5 billion for youth job training. “

If the Senate constructed a bill that was consistent with what Rubio dishonestly claims this bill does, it would lose lots of Dem votes, and it would get few illegals to sign up for it. That is why BOTH sides constructed THIS bill that is attractive to Dems(and illegals), and all Rubio has to do is lie and run those dishonesty ads to dupe us.

Then ya got Grahamnesty on every-other Sunday Sunday's shows where he knows he wont get questioned. He is always giving Obama friendly advice on those shows posturing to convince GOP voters that he is the ‘civil opposition’.
