Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., thinks a new bill implementing a merit-based point system for foreigners seeking legal permanent status will never pass the Senate, even though it has President Trump's backing. "That bill's not going to pass," told CBS 4 in an interview Sunday. "I think the White House knows that you don't have 60 votes for that in the Senate."

In that case, McConnell gets a top billing on my replacement list
So true.
Exactly why Trump needs to drop a MOAB on Congress.
Problem solved.
Come in. Since there is no limit you are legal.
The “do nothing” congress.
Disgusting.
It really is going to take an illegal harming one of their loved ones to do anything. Even then, I’d have my doubts.
Agree. "Republican" is a term that any sensible self-respecting person would run away from screaming. I feel nauseous every time I here the word.

It’s the ‘Foreign Workers First!’ Party
Or maybe the ‘Make America Foreign’ party
Gotta keep those cheap, legalized slave laborers rolling in!

Time to nuke the filibuster. The Democrats are abusing what was once a rare event.
It is.the lack of honesty.
Remember, when he first ran for office there were all these threads here with his speeches (in Spanish) to La Raza and other groups promising amnesty posted on YouTube for all to see and here.
Then he would go give speeches to Florida Republicans promising to secure the border.
He had to be lying to one group or the other and when the gang of eight Bill came out it was clear which one he had lied to.
That he later joined with McCain and Graham in arming ISIS was perfectly in character.
Well....the Republican “Representatives” are campaign Conservatives. Nothing more.
Can someone please explain why 60 votes are required?
See post 54.
With zero exceptions, the people who thought he wouldn’t push for blanket amnesty were hoping he was lying to the other guys.
Because his speeches to La Raza were all over YouTube.
You made a bad gamble.
“Polls show overwhelming support for Trumps plan.
Just goes to show how out of touch Little Marco is.
As well as most of the GOP.”
Understand where they are coming from. It helps...
The Dems just spent $20-25 MILLION DOLLARS to lose a House Special Election. 2018/2020 Senate races in big states could push well over $50 MILLION dollars.
They don’t get that kind of money in $20 checks from you and I. They get it from Billionaires and Issues groups spending tax money.
They are terrified of losing that support, because it could mean the end of their Senate Careers.
Even if it only took one vote, they couldn’t get it.
They are all against it.
They will find a hand full of safe no votes to sink it, and the rest of them will pretend like they are for it, but make no mistake, none of them are for it.
I wasn’t really active on the internet way back then. It was even before I joined FR, I think.
“The Other Site” that I left to join FR was very establishment GOP. I don’t trust THEM anymore now, either.
