Senate “Gang of Eight” Republicans are vowing not to try anything sneaky, as Congress considers legislation to address the border crisis.
In a statement that underscores the remarkable distance the immigration debate has traveled since their bill passed the Senate with 68 votes last year, the four Republican authors say they do not support bringing up such a bill this year.
“Last year, we helped lead the effort to pass immigration reform legislation that received 68 votes in the United States Senate,” Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), John McCain (R-AZ) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said in a joint statement. They went on:

right , now go away
We know that their word is as good as gold...
The EXEMPT Princes:

I don’t trust them!
NO! Is that loud enough?
Gang of Eight Republicans declares their allegiance to the Uniparty.
I like Rubio. I can see great things for him. But unless he divorces himself from this venomous brood, he is going NOWHERE.
The govt has demonstrated through Obamacare that they can steal freely from middle-class wage earners with impunity, and are now bussing illegals all over the nation to go forth and breed, and be on the receiving end of all that largess extorted from taxpayers. This is the perfect storm folks. We’re being taken down like a bull in a ring.
What a Gang of 8 of mine!
WHAT. A. GANG!
(That’s all I have for now.)
One down, two to go.
