SCHUMER ADMITS: ‘I RECRUITED MARCO RUBIO TO BE PART OF OUR GROUP OF EIGHT’
Breitbart ^ | July 29,2015 | Julia Hahn

Posted on 07/29/2015 6:56:36 PM PDT by Hojczyk

The immigration plan proposed by the Gang of Eight would have dispensed more than 30 million green cards in its first ten years. A green card is an immigration document that authorizes immigrants to collect welfare and become voting citizens, among other things.

In a recent but overlooked interview on MSNBC’s Up With Steve Kornacki, Sen. Schumer (D-NY) explained how he was personally responsible for “recruiting” Sen. Rubio to flood the U.S. labor markets: “I recruited Marco Rubio to be part of our group of eight being in the gym. [Democratic Senator] Dick Durbin was in the gym… and he helped recruit him too.”

Both Schumer and Durbin understood how essential Rubio would be for their effort to increase immigration beyond the current inflow of one million green cards — one million foreign workers, dependents, refugees, and half a million foreign national students — as Rubio, more than virtually any Republican, has proven able to get Republicans to support mass immigration policies.

The Huffington Post, for instance, noted that it was Rubio’s job to put on a “charm offensive” that would win support for the bill among conservatives. For instance, Sean Hannity said in an early interview, “It’s probably the most thoughtful bill that I have heard heretofore.” The Washington Post wrote that Rubio’s role was that of official “salesman” for the bill endorsed by both the Chamber of Commerce and celebrated by President Obama:

Trump’s campaign manager was the one who did it. But let’s still pretend Trump is a conservative, not a liberal.

If Rubio was/1s naive enough to join with Schmucky Schumer on anything he is too naive to be president.

I understand what you are saying. But
Trump wants many things we must have. He may do an amnesty. But he will by God close the border. He will stop these horrible international deals and he will executive order the hell out of obamacare. He will rebuild our military and nuclear capability. I assure you. He is our best shot and we may never have another one. These other guys are nothing.

And, as we have said before, stupid move on Rubio’s part in more ways than one. Schumer and company likely did this deliberately not to help the bill itself, but to damage Rubio politically. They were successful...

The abortions are why we have the illegals. The Democrats have to make up the lost votes.

So true, but the American people don't see the connection.

The dems turned Rubio out like a cheap street walker to do all their dirty work. The idiot most likely had no idea that when he left the room the dems fell of their chairs laughing.

What really pi**ed me off is when Rubio went on Rush & Levin’s shows lying through his teeth & making fools of these 2 talk-show hosts.
