RUBIO RETREATS: ‘WE CAN’T LET HOMELAND SECURITY SHUT DOWN’ OVER EXEC AMNESTY (RINO ALERT!)
Breitbart ^ | 2/18/2015 | TONY LEE

Posted on 02/18/2015 4:11:05 PM PST by tobyhill

Days after a federal judge issued an injunction against President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) urged Senate Republicans to abandon their defunding efforts and pass a clean Homeland Security funding bill.

“We have to fund Homeland Security,” Rubio reportedly said on Wednesday, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “We can’t let Homeland Security shut down.”

He reportedly “noted that Obama has threatened to veto any bill that would reverse his executive actions on immigration, including the measure to pay for Homeland Security” and “the Senate doesn’t have enough votes to pass the bill that ties the two issues together,” according to the outlet.

Rubio, who is weighing a potential presidential run, made his remarks in Las Vegas during his book tour.

The House passed a Homeland Security spending bill that also prohibits the federal government from funding Obama’s executive amnesty. Senate Democrats have filibustered the bill three times and will reportedly not back down next week before the Feb. 27 deadline to fund the agency.

Geez, such a disappointment. You’d think Rubio would have learned the last time not to be the Democrat’s tool.

Tell it to the Democrats that the bill must be passed. The House has passed it. The majority of the Senate will vote for it, even if it chokes some like McCaingraham (who have now been surgically attached). The obstructionists keeping Homeland Security are the Democrats and the Democrats alone... and they are trying to force a dead issue now that the judiciary has ruled that Obama's spoken request is not law.

And there is not really any “shutdown”. Rubio is repeating the media and Rat’s lies.

Hey Marco, I’m not sure if you’re Obama’s puppy but a Texas Federal Judge just shot that down. Do you get it, it is at the moment still against the law, therefore illegal to fund.

Then find another reason. Whatever you do, just get rid of it.

Anyone who thinks Rubio is the Dems’ tool would be wrong - he is a way bigger tool than that - Rubio is another Obama sounding good, saying what the people want to hear, and then the Big Bait & Switch rolls out time after time:

Yes we can and we should. Indeed, if I were King Obama for a day, I would close down DHS permanently.

The House sent you a funding bill for DHS, Marco. Pass it!
