"If this bill has in it something that gives gay couples immigration rights and so forth, it kills the bill. I'm done...I'm off it."
-Marco Rubio, Andrea Tantaros Show. 6/13/2013
-
That's what 'Gang of 8' amnesty front-man Rubio said when the Senate was debating the amendment, sponsored by Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT) which would grant green cards to foreign partners of gay Americans. Leahy originally introduced the measure during the Senate Judiciary Committee markup of the bill, but he withdrew it under pressure from Republican lawmakers who said it would reduce the chance of the bill passing.
This was the full statement of Rubio regarding the amendment...
"If this bill has in it something that gives gay couples immigration rights and so forth, it kills the bill. I'm done...I'm off it, and I've said that repeatedly. I don't think that's going to happen and it shouldn't happen. This is already a difficult enough issue as it is."Well things just got even more "difficult", Senator.
This morning's U.S. Supreme Court 5-4 ruling overturning the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in the Windsor v. United States decision, overturned the federal law that defines marriage as a heterosexual union, saying it violates the rights of married gay couples by denying them government benefits.
This ruling applies squarely to the Federal government, and now means that the Leahy Amendment text would be law of the 'Gang of 8' bill is passed in its current form.
Worse, the ruling would no doubt be extended by a friendly Federal judge within days to allow any illegal aliens granted amnesty to bring in same-sex "spouses", or those they claim to be same-sex "spouses" (remember this is a population well-versed in marriage fraud), to the U.S. legally. DREAM-status illegals would be able to do this immediately. Other illegals could begin to do this within 5 years - until a judge says that's unfair too.
So we have one question for Senator Rubio: Now that the Leahy Amendment would be the law of the land under your amnesty bill...are you "done"? Or will this be yet another promise broken?
Tell your Senator how the Supreme Court ruling extends amnesty to gay illegals and their "spouses".
Call them NOW at 202-224-3121, and demand they stand against the ‘Gang of 8′ insanity.
This is the end for this country. I expect God to unleash his full wrath on us now. He is patient, but ultimately will judge.
Sick, sick, sick.
.... the SC ruling would only cover them is they are “married” not just sleeping together. Right?
Good thing marriage isn’t a ‘federal issue’. Thanks liberaltarians.
Legislation from the bench, and redistribution of wealth, both at the same time.
What’s not for a Leftist to like?
Sadly, you are correct. We have become Godless Europe.
The idea of “marriage fraud” has always been a problem in the enforcement of immigration laws. An alien marries a US citizen, gets a green card, and the two divorce, after money changes hands. Decades ago, the former INS was severely shackled by federal courts in the attempt to investigate and prosecute these felonies.
Now, with the assistance of a large, well-funded organized arm of the democrat party, marriage fraud is poised to become a massive industry in the US, with gays flooding in and “marrying” democrat party members. And, again, with the full assistance and involvement of the DNC, there will be no investigation of the felonies.
Congratulations to us. Soon it will boil down to one question: Do organized gays, who support anti-gun legislation have the wherewithal to defeat the sharia zealots? Hint: Giving gays military uniforms doesn’t make them warriors.
Pedro: I'd love it Jose, but I'm at the back of the line, it will be ten years before I'm even considered.
Jose: No, No Amigo! Just say you're my same sex partner!
Pedro: But I like the senorita's...
Jose: So do I! It doesn't matter, it's not like we have to prove we are gay.
Pedro: Ha! Ha! Sounds like a plan... Seriously! Those Gringo's are such fools!
Sadly, you are correct. We have become Godless Europe.
Thankfully he is very patient, he put up with Sodom and Gomorrah until there were less than ten good men left. So he'll put up with a lot, and give us chances to correct our mistakes. But when his patience finally runs out....
Washington is already being hearing from Americans so keep those calls coming....See..Critics of the Democrat-led immigration rewrite are bombarding Senate offices with thousands of phone calls, and advocates say those calls are keeping numerous wayward GOP Senators from joining the Democrats’ immigration bill.
“Five hundred [calls] yesterday, and right now, they’re just ringing non-stop,” said an upset staffer at the office of Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, who has voted on both sides of the dispute.Protestors have sent “hundreds or thousands” of calls to Ohio Republican Sen. Robert Portman’s Republican office, a staff member told The Daily Caller
