Only days after Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) bragged that he personally, recruited Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to be part of our group of eight to sell his immigration vision, Rubio appeared in a New Hampshire Republican presidential candidate forum using nearly identical talking points to those he employed to push the Obama-backed Gang of Eight bill through the Senate.
The Schumer-Rubio immigration bill would have granted amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, it would have doubled the annual admission of temporary foreign workers, and it would have dispensed 30 million green cards to foreign nationals in the span of just one decade, despite current record immigration levels.
[...] Because large expansions to immigration are extremely unpopular amongst voters a Fox News poll, for instance, shows that voters support immigration cuts by a two-to-one ratio immigration boosters often rely on coded language to suggest they want to increase immigration without actually saying so. For example, the so-called modernization proposal that Rubio introduced only months agoknown as the I-Squared billwould triple wage-depressing H-1B visas and remove university green card caps. [...]

He cant help himself..
Oops! Wrong move!
I used to be a big supported of Rubio’s. But the day he teamed up with Schumer on Amnesty was the day he lost me. He’s not getting it back either.
And he wonders why he is going down in the polls...
I would like to be added. Thank you.
Moron just reminded everyone why we shouldn’t vote for him.
The Dems told Marco to get his shine box, and he did.
Ditto and likewise. The Marco Rube campaign phoned me and this is what I told them too.
H-1B pimp. Another Chamber Stooge.
I will never vote for Marco Rubio. The first thing he did after winning his Senate seat as a “Tea Party Conservative” in 2010 was to hire a pro-Amnesty chief-of-staff!
I'm skeptical about Walker's commitment to reduce Green Cards. Until he began to run for president, he rarely spoke about immigration, which to me ALWAYS indicates a Republican who plans to move to the Left after being elected. And, Walker's endorsement of the Bush-McCain Amnesty in 2006 almost disqualifies him in my mind.
Ted Cruz's multi-year support for more foreign work visas is appalling. I would probably vote for him in the general election, but his continued support for massive LEGAL immigration guarantees that Conservatives will become politically irrelevant within the next decade.
My favorite candidate is Rick Santorum. He has consistently opposed massive LEGAL immigration over many years. Plus, he understands business creation, he's a defense hawk, and he has made sincere efforts to slow down government spending.
Unfortunately, Rick Santorum is also unelectable.
He has almost no chance for the nomination, and he has ABSOLUTELY no chance to be elected president.
Re: “shine box”
Great quote.
Great movie.
CONman. “Debating” deceiver. His deceptive landscaping job shouldn’t be political. Get lost, Rube (h/t GunsareOK). No time for deceivers.
Great thread.
Rubio has been promised big money by the Cheap Labor Express.
