Yet we have so called conservatives like Rubio who are afraid to stand up against amnesty.

I'd say most democrats aren't for amnesty. That's why the gang of 8 insist it isn't amnesty. We're all getting hoodwinked on this one. One group that I've followed is Progressives for immigration reform. They have different motives than some of us, but they see illegal and mass legal immigration as a negative.
[snip]PFIR concurs with the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform (commonly called the Jordan Commission, after its chairman, Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, pictured below). In its 1997 report, it stated: “The Commission decries hostility and discrimination against immigrants as antithetical to the traditions and interests of the country. At the same time, we disagree with those who would label efforts to control immigration as being inherently anti-immigrant. Rather, it is both a right and a responsibility of a democratic society to manage immigration so that it serves the national interests.”
