Rubio on Fox is spinning his plan, which is really McCain-Kennedy in new bottles. Like McCain, he denies his plan is not amnesty. Yet, he gives the lawbreakers the object of their crime, i.e., to stay and work here.

He is laying out a plan that would provide "temporary" legal status, prevent illegals from receiving any government benefits, and they must show they have a job. It is nonsense.

The first question is why we must hold enforcement and border security hostage to legalizing the status of the illegals.

The idea that we can prevent the lawbreakers from receiving any federal benefits is just impossible. Their US born children will automatically be entitled to all the benefits of a US citizen. We have 300,000 to 400,000 anchor babies a year born to illegals.

Rubio is talking about requiring the illegals to have a job. How do you enforce that? We have 7 million illegals holding jobs now, but many also don't have jobs. How can you justify giving millions of illegal aliens work permits while 23 million Americans are looking for fulltime employment?

How can you exclude illegals from Obamacare? How will they receive medical care? Most of them are at the bottom of the economic ladder and can't afford health insurance, which will be mandatory. They will need to be placed on Medicaid or receive subsidies from Obamacare to buy health insurance. Or will they be allowed to continue to use our ERs as health clinics?

Will these lawbreakers be able to bring in their families in their so-called temporary status? Can anyone imagine that family reunification won't be allowed?

Rubio is a snake oil salesman and the devil is in the details. Once this 1500 page monstrosity becomes public, it will be torn apart.

Fox and Murdoch are big amnesty supporters. Chris Wallace failed to ask Rubio about the process. Will extensive hearings be held in the Senate or will it be rammed thru the committee after one week of hearings as vowed by Leahy?

I like Rush’s plan...make every undocumented Democrat legal but make them wait 25 years before they can vote...
...then watch the Dems run for the hills.

I don't disagree with your comments except..... Once this 1500 page monstrosity becomes public, it will be torn apart.

I'm just not so sure that it will be ripped apart this time. A lot of people have given up. I don't see too many leaders in either the House or Senate who will lead any charge to do so.

I hope you're right.

Yes, many people don’t realize it’s the children that get the benefits and Rubio ignored that part:o(

How much of our hard-earned dollars are going to "help" these new citizens? How much for welfare, medicaid, or hidden "benefits" like the one in the article linked below. It's like this government's goal is to finish us off, break the bank.

Here's another gimmee once they're legal:
