Rubio calls Tea Party attacks on immigration 'a real trial for me'

The Hill ^

[oldbrowser]

This bill is wrong on so many levels.
It is not about immigration. Nor will the immigration problem be solved.
It is about pork.
It is about increasing the scope and size of government.
But the worst one is that it is a legal nightmare. Twelve hundred pages of double talk, blank checks, and questionable phrases that the administration and the courts will never unravel.

His wife told him to turn on his supporters? If it is true, this fact really reflects very badly on him. This guy is so easily manipulated.

[RetSignman]

Here are a couple of items I found in the bill before my eyes gave out.

(b) SOUTHERN BORDER FENCING STRATEGY.—
2 (1) ESTABLISHMENT.—Not later than 180 days
3 AFTER the date of the enactment of this Act, the Sec4
retary shall establish a strategy, to be known as the
5 ‘‘Southern Border Fencing Strategy’’, to identify
6 where fencing, including double-layer fencing, infra7
structure, and technology should be deployed along
8 the Southern border.

(A) IN GENERAL.—The DHS Task Force
8 shall be composed of 26 members, appointed by
9 the President, who have expertise in migration,
10 local crime indices, CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS,
11 community relations, cross-border trade and
12 commerce, quality of life indicators, or other
13 pertinent experience, of whom—
14 (i) 11 members shall be from the
15 Northern border region and shall include—
16 (I) 2 local government elected of17
ficials;

cial;
20 (III) 2 civil rights advocates;
21 (IV) 1 business representative;
22 (V) 1 higher education represent23
ative;

Congress doesn’t have the time or will to read the bill but every American citizen SHOULD:

Benedict Rubio

[roses of sharon]

He reminds me of Scott Brown, just another stupid pretty boy trying to get good press.

Well now he has it, why is he complaining?

[rockrr]

Nonstarter. He’s certain that he knows better than we. So any references to discord or diverted paths MUST be that we simply can’t fathom how bloody smart he is.

Stop Amnesty.

Tell congressmen we don’t want ANY bill passed, no matter what they promise. This bill is Amnesty for 30 million illegals, and a 1200 page bill that brings in 80 million 3rd world immigrants. The bill will destroy the U.S. and will turn the USA into a socialist state as is the democrats/Obama’s plan.

Please sign their petition to require the Speaker to honor the ‘Hastert Rule’! If the Senate passes an amnesty for illegal aliens, it will be important that the House refuses to pass any immigration legislation in 2013! Stop the amnesty legislation!”

“I got involved in this issue for one simple reason: I ran for office to try to fix things that are wrong with this country,”

Hey Marco, I prefer that you uphold and support the Constitution. The rest will take care of itself.

I don't see how providing a path to ciitzenship for at least 11 million aliens as Constitutional.

[rocksblues]

I read the whole statement and all I heard was Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.

[txrefugee]

Poor little victim Marco. If it were not for conservatives, the GOP establishment would have had Charlie Crist occupying that senate seat, you ingrate.

[Logical me]

Rubio, wake the F up. There will be no border fence or any other kind of effective security with this bill. King Obama and his communists political machine will see to that. There should be one small bill, build the damn fence and secure it. Then work on a immigration bill.

[ZULU]

Third, say good-bye to a once promising political career unless you switch parties.

[Right Wing Assault]

"To hear the worry, anxiety and growing anger in the voices of so many people who helped me get elected to the Senate, who I agree with on virtually every other issue, has been a real trial for me,” Rubio said.

But he has managed to ignore what they want. He forgets the end results of this fiasco are going to be a trial for this country forever.

Rubio said he didn’t want to leave immigration reform simply to Democrats because he knew the issue of border security wouldn’t have been strong enough.

That makes no sense. What they came up with would not pass if you guys didn't help them! The American people don't want this. Don't you listen to them??

What a bunch of lame excuses.

[PATRIOT1876]

BooHoo!

[VRWC For Truth]

In the words of the Donald ... “Rubio, you’re fired!”

[Night Hides Not]

Say good-bye to a once promising political career unless you switch parties.

[formosa]

So let me get this straight. Rubio lied to his constituents to get elected and then chastises them when he betrays their values, dreams and jobs. The trash in Washington is just overflowing these days.

[longfellow]

Mr.Rubio, you betrayed the Tea Party. You became one of them. You have sold your soul and now you are surprised when you wake up next to the devil.

Let this man be an example. We must defeat him with another Tea Party Patriot. and I do mean Patriot Mr. Rubio.
