Maybe if Obama were to offer US citizenship, housing, Medicaid, and other freebies to everyone in Cuba, Rubio would come around.

Is that not what we already do to everyone in Cuba who manages to make the 90 mile voyage?

Rubio is absolutely right about the need for immigration reform, especially after Obama has spent six years single-handedly changing the laws and making things even worse, but your suggestion is not the sort of “reform” he has in mind. If the GOP had been able to get through the rational reforms Rubio suggested years ago, when it didn’t have the power to get past the open-border Dems, none of our current chaos would have happened. Obama wouldn’t have had the excuse.

Be that as it may, attacking Rubio on the matter of the Cuban deal sure makes it sound like people are supporting Obama (and the foolish Pope, who apparently arranged it).

Boehner is an alcoholic...as such; he should be removed from his position as Speaker, if not his office.

HA, he’s clear sighted about Cuba but totally blindsided us on immigration. I don’t really care what he has to say.

Just wait for him to give Castro the American installation at Guantanamo. This will happen before 2016.

He promised to shut it down and he will do it and give it away.
