These people are never going to leave.
Sooner or later, they will be voting and its better they vote for us.
Rubio is right and here we go again tearing each other apart.
You are right.. I’m afraid your post will fall on deaf ears..
The vast majority of Hispanics believe in Big Government and social programs - they are democrats. Polls after polls show that as well as they stating that they won’t change their political beliefs if Republicans pass amnesty. Fools and foolish!!!! Utterly dumb if you grant amnesty
They'll need them to make up lost votes like mine.
The dems are willing to raise your taxes to buy their vote and get them voting dem.
How much more would you want your taxes to go up to buy their vote get them to stop voting dem and vote repub?
I like Rubio and think his intentions are good, but he's wrong here. Hispanics aren't going to like us (conservatives/Republicans) better because we are for a "path to citizenship" for illegals. There is absolutely no evidence to show that agreeing with the Democrats on this issue helps us. Reagan did an amnesty and it didn't help Bush in 88'. McCain was well known for supporting "comprehensive immigration reform" and it didn't help him in 08'.
If we amnesty these illegals it is simply going to add millions of Democrats to the voter rolls. These Hispanics (mostly Mexicans) are natural Democrat voters. Mexico is a socialist craphole and the people there mostly keep voting for the same collectivist parties and politicians. When they become American citizens they retain the same voting patterns.
There is no doubt that conservatives must find a way to reach minority voters with our message, but there is no reason to believe being for amnesty will help us - and lots of reasons to believe we'd be seriously damaging our electoral prospects in the future.
The gang of 8 would have us introduce 10-20 million new voters into the electorate from third world countries. Isn’t it more likely they will vote for a Hugo Chavez rather than a Marco Rubio?
Why take a chance? Deport.

go spend a week at the WIC office in El Paso, and come back and tell me that you’re ever going to get “these people” to vote for “us” ...that’s a fantasy
You won't find Americans reluctant to do that.
No, they are not going to vote “for us” unless “us” is a Democrat. They are going to vote for free stuff and Democrats like they have been reliably doing for decades.
Defeat may be inevitably, but I want to gut every ‘Pubbie who chooses to do the wrong thing because it is easier or inevitable.
You would rather pay Illegal Aliens to stay? With whose money? Mexico’s?
You really that naive to think all those Illegal Aliens will vote GOP? There are not enough Hispanic voters...legal or illegal...that will replace the American Conservative voters the GOP will lose with pushing Rubio-Obama Amnesty
Wrong. The GOP got LESS of the “Hispanic” vote after the 1987 amnesty bill.
As long as Obama keeps ruining the economy, thousands and thousands leave on their own. Data over the last few years show this.
The ones coming here, when polled, are for big government full of programs for getting free stuff. Capitalism is a four letter word to most.
Enforce the laws by going after those that hire illegals and it will stop. Protect the border and they can’t get in.
To say they are “never” going to leave is naive and ignores history.
You argue like a Democrat...don’t agree with your position and “we are tearing each other apart”. I guess since I don’t agree with you I’m A)racist, B)extremist, C)evil.
I do not agree, ZULU.
The Hispanic vote was 70% for Obama just three months ago. They do not vote Republican, and have not even when it was the GOP under Reagan that gave them the amnesty in 1986.
As a group they have been radicalized by La Raza and Mecha, and they will vote for their Dem masters.
The only effect another amnesty would have, is to ensure that the GOP will never again hold office in the entire Southwest, or the Presidency, at a minimum.
That Republicans are being complicit in their own political demise is astounding.
The narrative that the GOP elites in DC are casting is fallacious--that we have to do this to gain votes. It will never happen.
The only fair and humane thing to do is to concentrate on following the LAW as it exists.
You are here illegally--you go home ad get to the back of the line, and take your kids with you. Then you apply legally and wait your turn.
All this new amnesty does is reward squatters and looters, and makes a mockery of the rule of law, making "feelings" the new law.
