After Tea Partiers in Florida protested at the home state offices of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Tuesday at an event organized by Tea Party Patriots, Rubio quickly, but largely unsuccessfully, tried to reaffirm his commitments to conservative principles when it comes to the immigration fight.

I think Rubio is toast now.
The issues are too clear cut for the kind of parsing these RINO’s get into!
This bill turns out to be like Obamacare THEY will have to pass it, so WE can find out what is in it. It will be another massive boondoggle bill that will end up having piles of new government bureaucracy and regulations.
Rubio’s plan includes a backup enforcement “commission” appointed by the border state governors. Jerry Brown is a border governor. Good grief, I can see it now. If Napolitano won’t enforce the border we will have people like Antonio Villraigosa and his buddies on the “enforcement” commission. If this were a joke I would laugh my a** off.
Time to stand with the Tea Party and be counted.
Schmucky Schumer supports it too. No dice.
It’s Toomey and Santorum all over . . . again.
Something hasn't sat right with me with this guy for about a year and a half, I can't put my finger on it, to slick by half and that guy he was tangled with that cost him the VP slot with the bad money deal.
He maybe a true Conservative at heart, and adds to Cruz, Lee, and Paul, but I am not sold on his solid-ness if that is a word...
I knew he was NG when he lied about his parents being Cuban exiles fleeing Castro.
We don't need that now... we have our work cut out for us and some guy grinding his own ax ain't gonna work.
In theory, yes; however, the way things have went it would not surprise me if he becomes the GOP nominee in 2016 in much the same way Romney did........at the disgust of Tea Party Conservative types.
“....too slick by half....”
.
You rightly identified him.
I believe he is a sincere man and truly a conservative. He believes the plan will work because it addresses the problem and establishes a fall-back line for the principle of respect for the law; in other words, it's become impossible to enforce the existing law so we'll push reset and agree that from this point forward, the law will be upheld. Why, even the democrats are on board about securing the border!
Unfortunately, Marco forgot one thing:
HE FORGOT ARIZONA
The Arizona law was not profiling, persecution or any other characterization by Obama; it was only a plea for the feds to enforce their own laws. They carefully mirrored existing federal laws (and watered-down at that). What did they get for their trouble? Sued!!!
Rubio's being naïve in ignoring the fact that the dems will take the amnesty for undocumented democrats and then sue anyone who attempts to enforce the rest.
Sad that he fell for the media narrative on “compromise” and getting things done. Rubio is a smart guy and solid on most other conservative issues. Remarkable that he can’t see that this one issue will take him down and give us another Democrat turd down here in Florida.
Immigration is now only about hispanics. Rubio, once again like most hispanics, believes race trumps the Constitution.
CACKLE---Looks like the pukes have been entertaining at the Four Seasons----Lindseed, Ryan and Newt have also been puke-duped, repeating the current GOP mantra: "I support the Rubio immigration reform plan"
Rubio is now getting his marching orders from the neocons. Invasion-crazed neocons want immigration reform at any cost because they need impoverished Hispanics as cannnon fodder for future puke invasions/land wars.
The pukeneos never saw an immigrant they didn't want to subsidize with tax dollars---dating back to WW 11.
==================================================
Mmmmm......sure would like to be a fly on the wall at the Four Seasons---where the puke elite meet downtrodden GOP'ers---- over chilled Cristal, imported room temp Brie and water crackers.
Course there's gonna be A LOT MORE puke-invasions and land wars since the pukes duped Bush into invading Iran, now that the entire 100 million-strong Muslim world is aflame with hatred for the US, Americans, and Christians.
I guess the pukes will have to use darts and a Mideast map to decide which country they want the US to invade next (cackle).
=====================================================================
Pro-amnesty Repubs are falling into Ohaha's cunning trap---he uses issues like immigration reform (and sequestration) as a wedge---to divide and conqueur. Ohaha and the Dims are salivating about total govt control---lying in wait to takeover the US govt.
Even if we were to stand foursquare with the GOP to embrace reform, it's much too late. The Dems are w-a-a-a-y ahead of us in mining votes from immigrant groups---the Dims have been sucking-up to latinos like crazy.
================================================
NANCY SUCKS UP Nancy Pelosi recently told Chris Wallace on Fox News, "It is almost a false argument (made by Repubs) to say that we have a spending problem (WRT sequestration)." (TRANSLATION "And besides, we need trillions to subsidize all our "new citizens" who will vote---and make me Majority Leader, again---not to mention the billions in foreign aid we plan to give to all the countries on the other side of the border.")

==================================
Blast this across the country---Illegal aliens have primitive survival instincts honed in corrupt Third World places where everything is for sale. The survivalist instincts of illegals DO NOT correspond to "labels" that we here in America consider sacrosanct---ie. Republican, conservative, etc. Illegalism is all about "what's in it for me, and who do I payoff to get it."
Rubio is a tool, a puppet.....just saying and doing what he is told. Waste of water.
“Why, even the democrats are on board about securing the border! “
You’re not serious, are you? The Demoncraps want MORE future Demoncrap voters to sneak across the border, the more the better. Of course they will agree to some bogus border enforcement language in the bill, knowing that it will never actually be enforced.
I think he did a good job on Rush’s show today. But Rush didn’t ask him what I think is the KEY question regarding the proposed law....
Rubio made several good points, such that there is no citizenship until MORE than years (longer than current law) and that there is NO welfare for these folks.
That encouraged me, but there are two key questions:
1. Do we trust Obama to follow these stipulations? I don’t.
2. What mechanisms are there if the JUDICIAL branch of the federal government declares these provisions of the bill unconstitutional??? Then the welfare MUST be provided and amnesty/citizenship is automatic. I can very well see that happening....SCOTUS just gutting any conservative principles in the law.
