I will never understand how rewarding people for breaking the law is a good thing. Their first step on American soil is breaking the law. If they are willing to do that, what other laws are they willing to break?

The Gang of Eight’s Ocho's “comprehensive” immigration-reform amnesty bill ...

Fixed the lead sentence in your article.

Everyone needs to call their clowns in DC and tell them this immigration bill is DOA.

Eleven plus years after 9/11 and our border is still not secure.

DC needs to know we’ve had it with them.

Whatever respect I had for Rubio is gone. He has shown us he is just another lying politician, more interested in politics than the welfare of this country.

Amnesty is not good, and Rush is absolutely right. Rubio is deafer than Rush. Ears to hear and not hearing a word he said in the interview.

Which only reinforces what we should all know. There is no perfection in a world of humans with human nature. Ronnie wasn’t perfect either.

...and any legislation with the title comprehensive, is suspect right out of the gate. There is no such thing. Law is no substitute for common sense, and a moral people, two things in very short supply.

"This Time It’s Different?"

Looks like the same-old same-old to me. Different liar, maybe, but the same old lies...

  "The [immigration] bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It
  will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the
  standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose
  their jobs."
                        - Ted Kennedy, 1965

  "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal
  aliens.  We will secure the borders henceforth.  We will never again
  bring forward another amnesty bill like this."
                        - Ted Kennedy, 1986

  "Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken
  system."
                        - Ted Kennedy, 2007

No promises, they promised we would have a fence by now. Promises from these people are lies. How many times will the STUPID American Public continue to believe this crap?

Marco Rubio stated on the M. Levin radio show; the federal government has more than five (5) years to secure the border! How mnay more illegal (criminal) aliens will there be in another five years? Also, the immigration bill allows those any illegal alien who was deported to come back, along with their relatives, associates, children, and others who are now breaking into the country!

If, and that is a big IF, the two terrorist in the Boston bombing broke into this country and came here illegally via the Mexico border, that will be the end to any push for immigration amnesty!

RE :”Further, the bill would open up the floodgates for unskilled laborers. Many of those unskilled laborers would be brought in under guest-worker programs, which are in and of themselves objectionable. They amount to nothing more than the creation of a caste of second-class workers for the benefit of certain business interests. Congress should be establishing standards oriented toward attracting highly skilled, highly educated workers; this bill would move in the opposite direction, though it would liberalize visa rules for some skilled workers.”

I know many businesses want this and in return Dems want the illegals voting so both are making a deal with the devil.
Except we lose in both cases, and when they do eventually vote they will vote against those same businesses who wanted that labor competition.

Try this : 1) pay more for those jobs, 2) cut off welfare and SS disability, and 3) hire US legal workers.

Rubio says at least 10 years wait and the wait will be soooo long for US citizenship that the illegals who apply here will wish they left the country and got on the line in whatever country they were born in. His plan will make them sorry they came here.

And they will get zero benefits for those long 10 to 15 years.

And Shumer and Durbin and Obama agree with all this..

Lets see the bill because this sounds like made up crap.

Why not come up with a 1500 page bill to get rid of all of them? Crazy I know.

I noticed that Rubio is learning the fine art of not directly answering questions and then referencing his prepared talking points.

He will go far in the Democrat party.

RE :”2 immigrants carried out the Boston bombings, give them Rubiophones I guess”

This is why we need ‘immigration reform’ to fix ‘our broken system’

Under Rubio’s plan the Rubio background checks would have stopped them after they applied for amnesty and they paid that big fine.

What could go wrong w that ?

Why are we talking about legalizing people who have shown no respect for our country and its laws? Doesn’t the Boston attack illustrate we have more than enough of these anti-Americans living here already?

They will get the handouts/benefits and the enforcement side will never happen. How many times will people fall for this?
