What is with all this Rubio love all over the place, especially from the media? Am I missing something?

These people are NOT immigrants, immagrant IS a legal status.
They are illegals IE criminals

Nope, you ain't missing a thing 2DV. The media loves every moderate, RINO GOP Candidate, because either that candidate can be beat, or if that candidate happens to win, that candidate will give them 60% or better of what they want because their policy positions align more or less with the Democrats.

Rubio, Huckabee, Bush, Christie all easily fit that mold.

Gone baby, gone. Jeb, go home to your mother, a mother who considers Clinton as her son. What a joke. Go away, stay away.

[Da Coyote]

Nope, El Jeb-O.

Support whatever lie you want.

We’re not supporting you.

Go home.

[umgud]

Someday we will live in a country where the poor are the majority and will rule at the ballot-box.

Yes and he got applause for saying that...

Yesterday the story was that Jeb was planning on busing people up from K Street. It looks like they found their way in.

[2ndDivisionVet]

We live there now.

Jeb Bush is gambling. He knows he's going to piss off a lot of the base but he also understands the demographics of this country have changed quite a bit since 1988 when 60% of the white vote gave his father a landslide victory over Michael Dukakis. In 2012, Mitt Romney also received 60% of the white vote. We all know how that turned out.

Jeb Bush isn't speaking to CPAC. He's trying to rally Hispanic voters.

Time will tell how this strategy plays out.

I’m guessing quite a few of the Paulestinians were clapping, too.

I reject this totally - my immigrant ancestors came over in steerage (aka "coffin ships") from the British Isles - before Ellis Island, I might add - went through all the hoops, served this Nation in the military and became U.S. Citizens.

Nobody gave them a leg up - they pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps, helped build this great Nation and asked for nothing in return but the opportunity to live in Freedom.

I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

I agree that we need immigration reform. Congress should start with three ( 3 ) givens.
1: NO ONE IN THEI S COUNTRY ILLEGALL CAN BECOME A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES.
2: The so-called Dreamers can qualify for permant legal residency.
Start with clean criminal records, then add other stipulations
3) Any one in this country illegally that wants to become a citizen must return to their country of origin and get in line.
Use these three givens with no compromise and go from there.

Oh gee, another Chamber of Amnesty corporate hack.

I just saw Jeb on Hannity and while I am no Hannity fan he asked Jeb lots of great questions. I was impressed.

Jeb said :

Secure our borders
Find out who they are(Obama knows that now)
Make them pay taxes
Deny them any government benefits (HAHA this sounds familiar)
Give them a path to citizenship for good behavior(whats good?)
Not one Republican has come out calling for deportation, so lets be realistic.

Audience kind of cheered, it wasn't overwhelming.

We are almost there now, and it is those dependent on government checks.

[RginTN]

Strike 3 & you’re out!

[fieldmarshaldj]

"Jeb said : Secure our borders"

Utter horseshit. His brother refused to do so, and El Jebbe is well to the left of George on open borders.

[DiogenesLamp]

I do too, it’s called “Go back to your home country and apply for an immigration Visa. “
