Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) gave a magnificent speech on immigrants and the meaning of America a few minutes ago. If you tear up and are moved, you understand why immigration reform is so critical. And if you sneer, roll your eyes and disparage his words, then there is nothing any bill or pundit will do to change your mind. Yours, in that case, is a different vision of America than mine.
After recounting the incredible details of his parents’ struggles and immigration he said:
This is not just my story. This is our story. It reminds us that we are “E Pluribus Unum.” “Out Of Many, One.”

here’s what I don’t get, Rubin was Romney’s #1 cheerleader and Romney’s position on immigration (at least his stated one), was diamterically opposed to Rubio’s and this bill. If this issue really meant so much to her how could she have supported Romney so strongly. Especially given that Romney used the immigration issue very effectively against both Perry and Gingrich.
Doesn’t really make any sense.

Slow path to progress for U.S. immigrants: 43% on welfare after 20 years
The study, which covers all immigrants, legal and illegal, and their U.S.-born children younger than 18, found that immigrants tend to make economic progress by most measures the longer they live in the U.S. but lag well behind native-born Americans on factors such as poverty, health insurance coverage and homeownership.
The study, based on 2010 and 2011 census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.

so more amnesty from republicans helps our country how again?
The Spaniard doesn’t know American history.
“E pluribus unum” referred to the union of the States, not the amalgamation of ethnicities.
The Despicable skank Jen Rubin single handedly ruined Commentary, she’s no Conservative, the skankho is a berkley lefty! Writing for the CIA Nuz paper WaPo makes her lower than dog shitte! Of course Krauhammer the non-con @ Fox crap news also writes @ the CIA paper! Rubio fits right in with these worthless Repubs!
Rubio’s face always did tick me off.
Romney was only opposed to Amnesty until he had an opportunity to grow in orifice in DC grog.

Gee Mr. Rubio. If they wish to be one how come LaRaza is pushing to regain Texas Arizona Ne Mexico and cal;ifornia, and how come so many of them cannot speak English or make a try at it.
Mr Rubio you are full of crap
Go back to Cuba where your folks came from, we don’t need you here giving our country away to foreign invaders.
Dude
Marco just keeps on piling it up! I can barely wait for him to ask me for money again!
This RINO is starting to make me wish Crist won. I wonder if he’d have pushed shamnesty as heavily as RINObio is?
>> Rubin: if you sneer, roll your eyes and disparage his words, [then you have] a different vision of America than mine.
In other words, if you disagree with Rubin, you’re a sneering, belligerent mule.
Dude’s not hers.
“Marco the Rube” is still “Marco the Rube” no matter HOW MANY SPEECHES he gives.
Rubio has joined the CONSERVATIVE-BACKSTABBING TEAM
organized by the rat Willard Romney.
No apologies needed. My uncle who lives in Boca admitted he voted for Jeb, but at least Jeb was a good governor. After Dubya stepped down, he sounds like McLame.
Correct. A bloodless coup is happening and Rubin wants us to tear up because Marco made a speech. We have been down this road before....2007 and 2008...IDIOTS.
Those invaders are dropping like bricks in water right now on the border...
