The Hill ^ | 6/25/13 | Daniel Strauss

Posted on 06/26/2013 6:42:13 AM PDT by jimbo123

The immigration reform proposal backed by a bipartisan group of senators can't be compared to President Obama's healthcare reform law, said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), one of senators that introduced the proposal argued Tuesday.

"First of all, ObamaCare, you can't compare the two," Rubio said in an interview on "The Michael Medved Show."

No Amnesty.

America is the only country on the planet, with this stupid lack of border enforcement.

Latin American countries don’t do this.

ENFORCE THE LAW.

Thousand page bill, amendment tree filled, rushing it through just before a holiday. No, I guess you can’t compare immigration reform to Obamacare.

Yup. Make it up as you go bills. Only it ends up being a blank check. Also, it provides cover for all who voted for it because the stuff that might sink them politically wasn’t even mentioned in the bill and only added later.

Well, you are right. They have totally different names:
0bamacare on the one hand, and Rubiamesty on the other.

Both of them are statist krap that we don’t want.

“Rubio said the federal government has no business in healthcare but it does need to participate in immigration laws.”

How ‘bout enforcing the laws that are ALREADY ON THE BOOKS, you dunce.

Rubio has contracted the deadly Rivera-Williams syndrome.

Like Geraldo Rivera and Juan Williams, whenever the subject matter touches on race, ethnicity or illegal immigration, Rubio loses all perspective and becomes unable to make an informed, fact based judgment.

I can compare immigration reform with Obamacare.

Obamacare is more intrusive govt. in that thou shalt buy health insurance and thou shalt comply with numerous govt. mandates.

A more liberal immigration system is about a less intrusive govt. where people immigrate easily with less govt. intrusion.

However, the bottom line is the people of the USA have a better country than most others and the people of the USA want to keep the others out. I’ve got mine and the rest of the world needs to solve its own problems.

The people who wish to come to the USA are saying “Mr. American, tear down these walls.”

While the people of the USA are saying, “We want a new Iron Curtain to keep the heathens out.”

Frankly, it is ok to be selfish. Frankly I am a top 5% and I am not giving much to charity because I like being a top 5% and am looking to retire soon.

But lets be honest about this debate.

It’s all of a piece leading to the destruction of the United States.

Rubio is a fool.
