Jeb Bush, Rubio Lay Low on Border Crisis
CNN ^ | 7/18/14 | Leigh Ann Caldwell

Posted on 07/18/2014 2:43:31 PM PDT by ek_hornbeck

Three Republicans with lofty aspirations nearly had their political careers derailed over risky positions on immigration.

But the crisis on the southern border involving an influx of nearly 60,000 migrant children this year from Central America may help Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Rick Perry repair a broken trust on immigration with conservatives.

All three are positioning themselves in a way that could help them make peace.

Perry, as governor of Texas, is out in front publicly since his state is directly affected, while Rubio, a Florida senator, and Bush, a former Florida governor, have been quiet

Rubio at least is not keeping quiet:
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2014/07/exclusive-to-power-line-marco-rubio-on-the-russian-threat-to-the-western-hemisphere.php

From the article:

Marco Rubio: As history has always shown – and recent events have reaffirmed – authoritarian governments are never satisfied with dominating only their own people; they seek the weakening and outright conquest of their neighbors, along with growing influence in every corner of the planet. Russia’s renewed interest in our own neighborhood as well as China’s increasing activity show this to be the case.
Funny how many people will ignore the similarities between Russia's multi-generational invasion, occupation and subversion of Ukraine, and the Mexican/Central/South America multi-generational invasions, occupation and subversion of the USA.

the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently in the United States.

They've been saying 11 million for years.

Kind of like when the national debt stopped going up when the debt ceiling was at issue.

Oh really?

The three of them outed themselves as amnesty loving fans of the Treason Lobby.

And now that the whole country is getting to see what their plans would give us they are sitting on the sidelines saying “Who, me?”. Screw them all.

The chick that wrote this article must think conservatives have a short memory and are very stupid.

“I’m sick to death of these lying Republican scum. They’re no better than Democrats. In fact they’re worse, they pretend to be what they are not.”

That has a ring to it. The ring of truth.
