Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), three key Republican players on immigration, told The Hill they're ready to start working on broad-based reforms next year that could include a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently in the United States.

A herd of frightened RINOs is stampeding!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If Canadians eat a lot of hot chili and fart a lot, will they too be able to be amnestified along the Northern Border?

RINOs see Obama selling votes and want to get in on the action.

“Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah)”

The usual suspects. But where’s Lindsay Grahamnesty? It’s not like him to miss out on a flood the U.S. with increased millions of third-worlders opportunity.

Graham too. I think Obama will easily pick off enough in the senate to get 60. If we don’t stop it in the House it’s a done deal, and Boehner has become Obama’s new amnesty ally. I told my US Rep not to vote for Boehner for speaker when the session begins.

BTW, I keep seeing this 11 million number tossed over and over again out by the MSM...I guess no new illegal aliens have crossed the border since 2000, when this number was first derived. Try 30 million now.

I agree, and McCain and his lot need to be confronted with this probability. These traitors have been allowed to frame the immigration debate for years, and most media have abetted them. We MUST make them address the likely numbers; the fact that they have no idea how many new citizens we're talking about. 11 million might sound somewhat innocuous to many Americans, 30+ million, not so much.

I scream at the tv everytime I hear someone talking about the Hispanic influence on the recent election. Both parties have deftly avoided admitting that the majority of these new voters---save maybe the youth given automatic citizenship, and now of voting age---- probably weren't even eligible to vote.

Rush mentioned on his show yesterday that Reagan received 37% of the Hispanic vote in 1984.

Then, Reagan supported amnesty in 1986 for 3 million illegals, a decision he later regretted. In return, the borders were supposed to have been secured. They weren’t.

In 1988, George H. Bush received 30% of the Hispanic vote.
The Hispanics were so “pleased” with the GOP amnesty decision in 1986, they gave George H. Bush fewer votes than Reagan four years earlier.

The idiots in the GOP say, “We lost the 2012 election, so let’s create millions, if not tens of millions, of new democrat voters.” Yeah, that will work.....not.

The Hispanics vote for the candidate that promises them the most freebies, not amnesty, and the GOP can’t out democrat the democrats.

It will take a few years to get them all naturalized and voting, but you are basically correct. The overwhelming majority will vote for Dems, or worse.

McCain was a full-blown amnesty candidate and they didn't vote for him of course.

So much for Rubio.

That's what I was thinking. He's a Chris Cristie.

There goes his political future and chance at the presidency. People WILL remember this.

7.9% unemployment (before the Oboma layoff tsunami started after the election), and Rubio wants to add millions more people from other countries who'll be looking for work, too?

The Republicans have a death wish. It looks like their wishes are about to come true. The more they "compromise" with liberal principles, the fewer tax payers bother to vote. (They prep for the fall out instead.)

Rubio can make or break his career on this one. There is an acceptable middle ground on this issue, and it revolves around not fast tracking citizenship for those in our country. We do need to deal with the issue. The status quo is not good.

We have to invest in border security, do an extensive work visa program to normalize those here, allow them to enter the citizenship process in the same manner as someone outside the country, and with those left, deport criminals and enforce business laws for employing undocumented foreigners.

That’s exactly right! I don’t know how anyone can take that old 11-12 million number seriously these days when illegal aliens are clearly everywhere-—just check out the fast food chains in city and urban areas and on construction crews and farms. I live out in farm country and the growers here actually have hidden dormitories for their transient illegals-—and nobody wants to do anything about it, at all, except to make them all citizens and leave the door wide open for even more of them.
