Rubio's Lies on Immigration
The American Thinker ^ | March 2, 2016 | John M. Ellis

Posted on 03/02/2016 2:05:36 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

At the February 25 debate in Houston, Marco Rubio revisited an issue that had first come up at the previous debate. On February 13, Ted Cruz said that Marco Rubio told Spanish television he would not rescind President Obama's illegal executive amnesty on his first day in office, and Rubio responded that Cruz was lying. The transcript is unambiguous: Cruz had spoken accurately. And so it was disconcerting when on February 25 Rubio insisted that "I said very clearly on Spanish television... I said it will end in my first day in office as president."

On February 13, Rubio's memory could have been faulty, but by February 25 it could not have been. The more recent statement can only have been a calculated, brazen lie. On February 13, Rubio had called Cruz a liar. By February 25 at least, he knew that was not true. His failure to withdraw the accusation therefore becomes another calculated lie.

This raises a very serious problem for Republicans. Their opponent in November is likely to be Hillary Clinton, whose main liability is that she is known to be a particularly shameless liar.....

An important voice in the debate over illegal immigration is the chair of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, which represents ICE employees: Chris Crane. Crane said recently that "In my opinion, Sen. Rubio absolutely knowingly mislead the American people regarding the [gang-of-8] bill. He was not telling the American public the truth about what that bill contained. Every American will have to determine on their own what that says about his character, but for me I don't think I'll ever be able to trust him again."

Another important voice on this same subject is Ken Palinkas,....

When Rubio was in Florida he engineered the effort to stop a bill banning sanctuary cities. He has lied out right for a long time

When you go to this American Thinker website you will find a very good article on the right sidebar entitled: “Donald Trump may not know the secret of his success.”

This must be the same state in which BO’B resides: The state of delusion. The two are identical twins and liars to the core of their black/brown hearts.

Jesse Ventura rides again. Will little Marco be wearing the face of Jesse or the face of O’bomba? With his high heeled boots, my bets on Obomba.

As bad as that all is, there’s more. It is the legislation that Rubio stopped while in the Florida House post 9/11...despite Florida’s out-sized role in the 9/11 attacks:

He’s a real scumbag.

Marco also beat Cruz in Virginia and Georgia. Cruz has to make Rubio go away completely, IMO. Everyone can laugh that Marco only got MN, but these states were all proportional, and it isn’t good for Cruz’ chances, frankly.
