Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio seems well meaning enough. As second-generation conservative Americans, I know we both share a common passion for this great land of opportunity. But when it comes to comprehending the real agenda of the open-borders zealots he's allied himself with, Rubio doesn't have a clue.
And his abject ignorance threatens all of us who cherish American sovereignty and exceptionalism.
On Fox News' "The Sean Hannity Show" Tuesday night, Rubio defended his Gang of Eight "immigration reform" bill and insisted that we could and should have a system in place that vets foreign tourists and short-term visa holders based on their "national security" profiles.
"In essence, we should be able to analyze (whether) these are individuals coming from a part of the world that keeps feeding into the terrorist network," Rubio earnestly explained. "(W)e should be very careful about who we allow in and take into account every single measure or every single factor that we think could lead to somebody being more likely possibly a member of a terrorist organization or involved in terror."
Great idea, Rubio! Newsflash: The concept of a national security entry-exit screening database is at least 10 years old. It's an idea that was sabotaged by the progressive soft-on-security ideologues with whom Rubio has recklessly partnered.
In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Bush administration created NSEERS, the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System. Administered and championed by Justice Department constitutional lawyer, immigration enforcement expert and now-Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, NSEERS stopped at least 330 known foreign criminals and three known terrorists who had attempted to come into the country at certain official ports of entry.

Cutting off benefits and getting rid of anchor babies will not happen. The socialists won the Presidency. They won the Senate. That have nearly half of the House. They are 4 of 9 Supreme Court justices. Most of our OWN side are NOT conservatives. A good number of them are liberal rinos.
Your solution would work in a conservative world, but It is not going to happen. It is only in a dream that any such thing will break a conservative direction inside of the next few decades.
To make that happen we would have to own the presidency, a filibuster-proof Senate, and the House. And we would have to have all of our side be conservatives instead of “republicans”.
Amnesty for illegals is like having a boat full of water and accepting it as inevitable without fixing the hole in the boat first.

rather than extract a lot out of thin air and then make sweeping conclusions. We disagree on whether Rubio can be salvaged or not, yet you make sweeping indictments without any logical foundation. No wonder our side can't win arguments.
A Brotha’ can dream, can’t he?
Yes, he can. And it’s a nice dream.
