When politicians talk about “immigration reform” they mean: amnesty, cheap labor and open borders. The Schumer-Rubio immigration bill was nothing more than a giveaway to the corporate patrons who run both parties.

Rubio should not be given another chance to

“Comprehensvely Screw Americans Out Of Their Country”

Paul Ryan needs to be Cantorized on Aug. 9 for the same reason.

If we had not Cantorized the weasel Eric Cantor they would have already given away our country.

Rubio didn’t just support ‘amnesty’ - he supported a bill that would have destroyed America. No Rubio. Period. Also, his ‘solution’ to Obamacare is as bad or worse. I thought I would never say this about a Republican, but with his open borders/healthcare policies and what he would have been able to enact as president (if he somehow got elected) with a compliant Ryan, he would be the 3rd term of Obama as far as damage to the country ..... and that’s without the obvious comparisons to Obama himself of: one term Senator with no accomplishments, no executive experience, no foreign policy experience, a lightweight, empty suit who lies effortlessly whenever it suits him.

I’ve posted this before - if you’ve seen it, just ignore, otherwise please read at the link - goes point by point over Rubio’s LIES regarding the Gang of 8 bill & how damaging it would have been. The “conclusion” I included as an excerpt because it really tells how dangerous to America a Rubio president (or VP) would have been (or maybe could be in the future).

Rubio Record (immigration)
http://www.eagleforum.org/immigration/rubio-record.html

Excerpt from link “CONCLUSION”:

There is no single major distinguishing policy difference between Marco Rubio, John McCain or Lindsey Graham. They have the same trade policy, immigration policy and foreign policy. But on immigration most especially — the issue in which all four have invested the most — there is no daylight separating them.

The difference, then, is one of persona, not policy. And in the arena of immigration, this translates into a vital difference. The biggest change from McCain-Kennedy, which could not get out of the Senate, and the Gang of Eight — which was nursed along by conservative pundits despite being to the left of Kennedy’s bill — was the presence of Rubio. Rubio created the conditions necessary to produce a considerably more open borders bill: conservatives who were invested in the Rubio Brand provided no early pushback but accepted Kennedy’s old talking points, and Rubio gave red state Democrats the political space necessary to support it. This is how it got 68 votes in the Senate.

The stakes of course are raised considerably if Rubio is President or Vice President. Rubio would have a much, much better chance than Obama of getting an open borders bill through Congress — while Boehner could refuse to bring up Obama’s mass immigration/amnesty bill for vote in 2014, Ryan would never refuse Rubio’s bill. Rubio’s presence, as it did with the Gang of Eight, would create the cover for both certain Republicans and all Democrats to get behind a far more open borders plan. Given that nearly every House Democrat sponsored the Gang of Eight House version (including Pelosi and Gutierrez), Ryan would not need to gather that many additional votes (House GOP leaders might have refused Obama’s 2014 request for a vote but they would not refuse President Rubio’s).

All of which adds up to: there is likely no person in the United States of America in a better position to enact mass immigration legislation than a President Rubio — no one who could deliver more votes in both parties for open borders immigration. Senator Rubio is not Main Street’s Obama, he is Wall Street’s Obama: President Obama was a hardcore leftist running as centrist; Senator Rubio is a Wall Street globalist running as a tea party conservative.

Unlike other legislation, the effects of bad immigration policy cannot be repealed. They are forever. The Republican party would never nominate a pro-Obamacare candidate, and it must be an even stronger maxim that it should not nominate any candidate who is committed to a policy of mass immigration. Rubio wrote the Obamacare of immigration policies: a bill that would have eviscerated the middle class, plunged millions into poverty, legalized the most dangerous aliens on the planet, overwhelmed our schools and safety nets, and done irreversible violence to the idea of America as a nation-state. Rubio is the candidate of open borders, Obamatrade and mass immigration, making one last attempt to pull off one big con.
