There goes the Latino vote.
Better get on board a case by case assessment for STUDENTS, or be on the losing end of this debate for ever.
Start by showing your strength on CLOSING THE BORDER!!!
Border enforcement has, for thousands of years, been almost universal around the world but suddenly it’s “hawkish” to want to apply it?
These people can go to hell.
Rubio is toast IMHO, and no we have no tlost the latino vote, we don’t have latino vote.
Ever since the DREAM ACT was first introduced, it has become the rallying cry for illegals hoping for amnesty. Frankly, I think our political system is so corrupt and so perverted that it is only a matter of time before the Dream ACT is enacted into law.
From my perspective, however, the majority of illegals have added nothing to American society and has, in fact ben a drag on it. Education has suffered because so many illegals in the classroom who can’t do the work have caused educational standards to repeatedly be lowered. State and local budgets have been impacted by the drain the illegals have placed on social services while contributing nothing.
I’m not condemning all of the. Some have made every effort possible to assimilate and become productive citizens. While I still think they need to be returned to their native countries and get back in line for immigration to the US, they might be worth a “speedpass”.
But, IMO, bottom line I think passage of the Dream Act is a matter of when, not if.
Hope and pray that idiot Boner holds on to this bill until after the elections.
Persoanlly, I don’t want to see the Elian Gonzalez photos appearing nation-wide as Immigration Officials break down doors to snatch kids away.
Yes. They are lawbreakers. But the BIGGESTS lawbreakers are the companies which hire these people knowing they are illegal, pay them under the table to avoid the SS employer co-pay and then dump them on the social support networks we all pay for so they can enjoy cheap labor. And these kids are the result of that.
I think there should be some kind of limited amnesty for people who are here illegally, WANT TO BE AMERICANS, have learned, or are learning our language, have no criminal record here or where they came from, and are working.
Personally I think King is making a serious mistake - politically, morally and ethcially and I agree with Rubio totally.
Dear Immigration Reform Leaders and Activists,
Washington inside sources have confirmed that Senators Kyl (R-AZ) and Hutchison (R-TX) are helping Rubio with his DREAM Act. This is a huge problem for us as both of these senior Senators – Senators from border states – are retiring and really don’t give a hoot about what their constituents want. We NEED to get their attention. We don’t know if they can be shamed into retreating but it is worth a try, please email everyone you know and have them make calls to the District Offices of Kyl and Hutchinson. Florida leaders need to continue to pound Rubio on this issue!
Rubio’s chief of staff is now indicating the text is done and is setting up meetings with a few key Republican members. We haven’t been able to get the text yet, but will keep you all posted.

“The number of unaccompanied undocumented minors apprehended along the border or found in the U.S. is at record highs and could nearly double in 2012 “
“Already in fiscal year 2012 the government has apprehended more than 8,000 unaccompanied minors, already topping the agency’s estimate for the entire year and nearing the peak of 8,200 in 2010, according to budget documents for the Department of Health and Human Services which oversees the Office of Refugee Resettlement.”

Thanks to talk of an impending “Dream Act”.
GOOD!
Good for you, Rep. King.
Hold your ground. The open-borders gang never give up. Jorge Bush/Juan McCain continually tried to push amnesty down our throats and we had to beat them back each time.
Looks as though “rising star” Rubio has picked up the reward-the-illegal-aliens banner now.
Up yours, Rubio.
These globalist freaks who sit on their fat fannies and permit our country to be invaded by foreigners and then want to reward the invaders at our expense, make me sick. Treason!
So now we know what Jeb was rattling about. They want amnesty because they don’t give a darn about our country, our interests nor our people. If Reagan saw what the GOP permitted to happen in full blown invasion after he granted amnesty and closed the borders, even after 911 and mexico’s drug war, he’d toss a fit. Maybe Americans can sue for a violation of our civil rights.
I think Romney should take Rubio and Run On the Democrat ticket and The Republicans should start over and try and Find an AMERICAN Conservative who Loves the Country and Its Laws and Enforces them
