U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio urged President Barack Obama to hold off using executive authority to overhaul immigration regulations, saying reform should be gradual and come only after authorities clamp down on illegal immigration.
“Taking executive action will set back the opportunity to make progress,” Rubio told reporters in Spanish on Wednesday during a two-day trip to Colombia. His comments echoed those by incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a day after Republicans took control of the Senate. …

Are his relatives still working on their raft?
What “immigration” ???
this is not immigration..
its AMNESTY for illegal aliens...
Sen. Rubio does not understand that the whole immigration issue is part of Obama’s plan to permanently ruin the USA before he leaves office.
It takes more than just urging by the GOP to stop Obama in his effort.
“using executive authority to overhaul immigration regulations”
The Pimps sure need a lot of words to say, “to hold off legislating”.
Another Republican who doesn’t realize he is in a bare knuckle brawl.
I am not happy with this “wait” thing. It is wrong and flat out unconstitutional today, tomorrow, and next year for the president to unilaterally usurp a power clearly reserved for the Congress. And I do not care how much La Raza screams and yells. Look how much writhing and delay and angst went into Sgt. Tahmooresi. One guy. We have taken in millions of foreigners with zero knowledge of their intentions and their health. American children have died and suffered paralysis from EV-68 brought in. This should never have been encouraged from the beginning. That we are in this state is entirely the fault of this feckless administration who thought they could get away with this piece of illegal pandering.
Still dead on
It’s treason, pure and simple.
I warned everyone before 2008 & 2012 elections about what drives the socialist community organizer. I am from CHicago and know his type. But many decided to “punish” GOP by abstaining. So now we all get punished by the community organizer with open borders for illegal immigrants coming here to drain welfare dollars and vote democrat. Some people have no problem cutting the ears off to spite the nose.
Open borders for illegal hordes from Mexico border, but a US Marine who served with honor was not welcome for 7 months.
Why is Rubio even bothering to acknowledge that Barry the Boob might even have that constitutionally delegated power?
If not that, the executive acting as a lawmaker because he disagrees with a formula branch of government certainly does violence to notions of pluralism as well as to the—clearing throat—the Constitution that this !#% swore to defend, twice.
formula=coequal
I loved Obama’s conciliatory press conference today.
“Give me what I want from Congress or I’ll do it anyway via executive order”
The Republicans better wake up to the fact they are dealing with a bare knuckle ideologue that needs to be stopped.
Obama never likes to wait when he’s busily f*cking the American public and pulling some stunt that contravenes the will of the people.
And the Democrats wonder why they got slaughtered in the last election.
call Congress 202-224-3121 to stop Obama’s executive order for Amnesty for illegals
also tell congress to threaten jail for this criminal Obama if it dares to do this treasonous act
LIVs are still confused when I tell them that he had never had a real job (unless you consider homosexual prostitute a real job).
McConnell, Rubio and the other GOPe snakes are having political social psychologists make a plan to reveal ‘reform’ (which is amnesty but they will never admit it is) in pieces.
Rubio is saying hold off because ‘progress’ will be made as McConnell gets his talking points in order.
First will come border security proposals which will never be implemented but it sounds good and will soften the public up to ‘reform’ (=amnesty).
Then McConnell and his GOPe will bring out the piece that the US Chamber of Commerce wants which is Work Visas for 10 to 20 million illegals so they will ‘pay taxes’, ‘come out of the shadows’, ‘pay a fine’ etc.
After the work cards are manufactured and issued, the border security bill will be abandoned and the member businesses of the US Chamber of Commerce will get their cheap labor.
But there will be a ‘pathway to citizenship’ only it won’t matter because all the holders of the Work Visas will also get driver licenses and be unlawfully registered to vote at the same time via Motor-Voter.
Then it’s game over for conservatives which is what the democrats and the GOPe want because it clears the field of crazy obstructionists which is how they see Conservatives.
