As the Republican presidential primary heats up, illegal immigration is again taking center stage. While this is nothing new (as we know President Reagan attempted to address it in the ’80s, John McCain made it a priority in ’08, and on), the discussion has taken an interesting turn this election cycle.
At issue, of course, are Obama’s executive amnesty, the recent influx of illegal immigrants (including huge numbers of children), the vast number of illegals currently living and working in the U.S., border security (such as it is), and a host of related issues including the burden of illegal immigration on tax payers in terms of jobs, health care, schooling, police and judicial involvement, and various entitlement costs.
Marco Rubio’s involvement with the Gang of Eight, particularly his decision to work closely with Chuck Schumer, has not gone unnoticed by either the conservative base nor by the other presidential hopefuls.
Donald Trump states that Rubio’s support for amnesty is “because he’s Hispanic.â€

This seems to be an off-the-cuff remark and not his campaign’s message; he also does not reject the idea of Rubio as his VP running mate should he win the GOP nomination....[continued]

Neither one of them would put Rubio on their ticket, but they don’t have to be ruff with Rubio just yet...time is a comin’ tho.....
Trump & Cruz hit Rubio....the old ONE-TWO PUNCH. Nobody deserves it more than the duplicitous, lying, despicable Marco Rubio.
Cruz might as well. He has nothing to lose. It is the only way he will get the attention needed if he wants the nomination.
Too Easy
Trump and Cruz are armed.
Rubio’s robot delivery and repulsive record on immigration renders him a waste of everyones time.
Every time he speaks, I expect him to go all Max He He Headroom.
I had high hopes for Rubio when he first came on the scene. He has turned out to be just another amnesty pimp.
from article:
“John McCain made it [illegal immigration] a priority in ’08...”
McCain did not ever mention it. It would have been a winning issue if he had.
Cruz will stay steady and on track. When the real voting starts he is in position to take over.
I’m old enough to remember Max Headroom
I still don’t see how it can happen. It has nothing to do with him but the way the primaries are set up. The Conservative states are portional which means you don’t get full points. They are shared among the candidates. The Blue states are all “Winner takes all”. Well that is why we end up with RNCe types. We will again. Not our fault but the system.
.
Stay awake and alert, Cruz will steamroll the 2016 primaries.
.
You need to read some recent articles.
Sadly, we will likely have terrorists attacks between now and the election. Whoever can gain the confidence of the American people to keep them safe will win. That guy is Cruz.
McLame was a frequent critic of HR4437 and Tancredo. But he had far bigger problems than immigration.
Tag team action!
Unleash the dogs of war!
Time to make America great again!
