I sent this off today:
Senator Rubio,
All of the talk about the upcoming immigration bill includes talk of “getting this done fast....” Seriously, if you desire this to be equated with Obamacare—impossibly long and passed, without having been read, in the dead of night (literally,) then proceed....
IF all of the safeguards you have publicly pronounced (in statements and on radio shows) are true—all of the protections to keep this from being yet another wave of illegal immigrant amnesty (on top of keeping it from being literal amnesty for 11M illegals—aren’t those 1990s numbers—seriously? I’m not being flippant but you yourself quote the most minimalist totals anyone predicts—and when is a government study to be believed?) IF all true and you care genuinely about these illegal immigrants’ statuses and protecting the country at the border and internally-— then won’t you at least hold up votes to the best of you ability and keep it from being yet another senatorial SHAM vote?
It’s not enough that you’re in the minority party, and it’s BAD enough that you crossed the isle (and I’m sure you’ve heard countless times that Democrats never cross to the right for bipartisanship...) but you’ve enabled, in my view, the ruinous plans of Senator Schumer, the bafoonish plans of Senator McCain (patriot, hero, and welcome-long-overstayed politician, not to mention fellow USNA graduate, albeit 30 years prior to me.) If I’m to assume you have the best intentions and assurances built into this bill you’ve never read-— that none but (surely, not overstating this a bit—) conniving staffers have read and written, THEN PLEASE ASSURE US THAT IT WILL GET THE MAXIMUM TIME FOR PURUSAL, REVIEW, AND DEBATE. Una gota menos y le olvido a ud. No mereceras la pena.
Sincerely,
Coral Springs
PS—then just go ahead and bail out of this and all future senatorial “gangs,” vote NO on cloture and on the bill itself, and truly band together with Senator Cruz et al— enforce existing laws on legal immigration. The senate frustrates We the People to no end.
Please realize that Rubio has always wanted amnesty and the people he hired, like his chief of staff, Cesar Conda is one of two of the biggest amnesty hacks out there, on either side. The other one is Grover Norquist who is also advising Rubio. These lobbyists got him elected under the ruse of the tea party.
He hired his chief of staff and other pro amnesty lobbyists before he was elected and they used the tea party label and conservatives to do it.
Who is Cesar Conda?
