Why don’t we call the bill . . . .

“Reconquista”

Let’s see:

A Bill nobody has read, let alone understands, before they voted for it (CHECK)
A Bill that was shoved down the throats of We the People (CHECK)
A Bill that will expand and bloat the Fed. gov’t even more than it is today (CHECK)

Damn, sure seems like a good comparison so far.

What is Rubio talking about?

They are both sh*t sandwiches foisted on the public by the elites to flood the system with third worlders and replace the America which we once knew.

Maybe he means one is made with runny spreadable poo and the other with solid, sliced poo.

Boy, I want your rose colored glasses! Where can I get a pair?

Sorry, he was the same down here in FL. He only hitched to the TEA Party to get elected.

He’s a sellout of the McCain caliber.

"First of all, ObamaCare, you can't compare the two," Rubio said...

Expecially if you haven't read either bill!

Everyone’s butts are a little sore. Seems to me like it’s EXACTLY like Obamacare.

Please post the name of any one Senator that has read the entire bill in final form.

How can *any* Senator vote for a bill they haven’t read with a clear conscience?

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

Not hardly. America, with 4% of the world's land and 4% of the world's population already accepts more legal immigrants than the rest of the world combined.

During the heyday of Ellis Island 1890-1920 or so, we rejected only about 5% of would-be entrants mainly for stuff like communicable diseases, criminal background or probability of becoming a ward of the state.

Do you think the amnesty lobby would approve if we issued green cards only to those who met the loose Ellis Island era criteria? Not on your life! That is why they insist on a "comprehensive" bill which passes muster with La Raza but not with common sense. It is a "you can't deport anyone" bill.

“First of all, ObamaCare, you can’t compare the two,”

Sure I can, they’re both designed to overwhelhm the system, to strengthen the position of communist and socialist in our country to bankrupt america and to bring about a world dominated socialist utopia controlled by leftist elitest and administered by government employees leaving an underclass of “proles” who do what they are told and live their lives as they are commanded. Not to mention that the Americas will be the brown continents by UN design.

“Another republican with potential that turns out to be a democrat’s fool. Wonderful.”

By 2015 he will know his conservative base has a long memory and will not forgive him. His RINO friends will forsake him for a member of their country club inner circle for the 2016 national ticket. Expect him to jump to the Democrat Party in an attempt to hold onto his Senate seat.

I did say that bringing Marco Rubio back to the acceptable principles would probably not be a spontaneous act on his part, or at least we should not rely on that happening. Ted Cruz of Texas said it best, a FLOOD of phone calls and messages to any Senator’s or Congressman’s office in Washington and in their state or district offices, does affect the way they vote.

We are not going to impeach or somehow remove Senator Rubio from office before a normal end of his term, so we have to go to war with the army we have, not the army we want. Enlist him (or draft him) to our cause, and hold his feet to the fire.

I have no similar hopes for Bill Nelson.

Can someone explain to me why Rubio is so all fired desperate to get this abomination passed? I’ve never seen a politician do so much twisting, turning, sidestepping, and outright lying, to sell his soul to the devil.

You’d think his family is being held hostage or something. What gun is being held to this guy’s head?

Either:
1. He lied initially when he was a candidate.
2. He was bribed after.
3. He sold his soul to the devil.....cheapo.
4. He is totally stupid.
5. All of the above in some way or another.

I’ve got mine and the rest of the world needs to solve its own problems.

Americans provide aid to numerous countries regardless of race creed or color, don't we?

This Amnesty bill is even worse than Obamacare, 1200 pages of pure evil.

You got that right. After the importation of 10s of million of leftist voters, they would control all branches of govt. forever. And Rubio likes it.
