Marco Rubio: Riding to the Immigration Rescue
WSJ ^ | Saturday Jaunary 12, 2013

Posted on 01/12/2013 10:21:38 AM PST by Bigtigermike

Marco Rubio, Florida's GOP senator, unveils his reform ideas to 'modernize' the system and put illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship.

Marco Rubio—41-year-old son of working-class Cuban exiles—has lived the upwardly mobile immigrant experience. In his fast rise, the Florida Republican has also experienced the politics of immigration

[....]

"Here's how I envision it," he says. "They would have to come forward. They would have to undergo a background check." Anyone who committed a serious crime would be deported. "They would be fingerprinted," he continues. "They would have to pay a fine, pay back taxes, maybe even do community service. They would have to prove they've been here for an extended period of time. They understand some English and are assimilated. Then most of them would get legal status and be allowed to stay in this country."

Nobody is ever pure enough for your kind.

So typical of a liberal RINO. Nothing constructive to say so just cast sarcastic baseless aspersions. LOL. Have a nice day and OBTW, xoxoxo's.

“The trouble is we can’t enforce the government to enforce any of these rules.”


IF, and that is IF we get a Conservative government in place, WE CAN, THEY WILL enforce the new immigration reform rules. That is what we must be working toward, A CONSERVATIVE GOVT.

“Jeb Bush puppet starts to dance but alas most conservatives will dance along because he makes good speeches “

Just what we need, another Bush clone trying to reward foreign nationals who decide that American law is something they get to ignore whenever it suits them.

Marco Rubio has decided to be an Hispanic first, and an American somewhere further down the line. To hell with him.

Correction: “The trouble is we can’t TRUST the government to enforce any of these rules.”

The rest of my above statement is correct.

“You’re a shining generational example of why arbitrary citizenship shouldn’t be handed to people who don’t have the balls to fix the problems in their own Country. “

Isn’t that the truth. Our ancestors picked up guns and fought the British empire for eight years. His bunch ran away and a let a commie with a hundred banditos take their whole damned island.

Geraldo Rivera also claims to be “a Republican”, of the Open Borders, Treason Lobby variety. Sarabaracuda sounds just like him with her accusations of bigotry and xenophobia. Maybe she writes his material.

Far be it for the rest of us to think that neither of them is genuine.

“Imagine how much better of an economy Calif would have if California Proposition 187 (also known as the Save Our State (SOS) initiative) would have been implemented? “

Isn’t that the truth. That campaign was my first glimpse of how strong the Illegal Alien lobby was inside the GOP. Instead of receiving support we had to battle the GOP establishment.

Among those who put the interests of foreign nationals ahead of California citizens were Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett, Ron Unz, and the governor of Texas, George Bush.

I and several other posters have spent thousands of words debating her.

We've spared you the trouble of having to bother with further debate with the poster in question.

Well this poster for the sake of counting, would like to see Palin stand up.

It is far to early to enter the next race yet, but start to be involved soon.

Cringing Negativism Network; As do I.

If conservatives do not stop living the fantasy that all these wholly unconservative actions are just some giveaway to ‘save the real ammo’ for later, they/we deserve what happens.

And what happens will be the very same thing that always happens. We lose another chunk of real estate and the Dems gain it.

And by supporting the people who support liberal policies, we merely slice our own throats. We have seen the same thing for years. Excuses by GOP fanboys claiming that they HAVE to give up X now for Y later.

We never got Y. We did not get it when Reagan gave up Amnesty.

We did not get Y when Bush 1 gave up taxes.

We did not get Y with anything from Clinton.

We did not get Y from Bush 2 when he caved to libs on the WOT, fighting it by their rules.

And Obama should be obvious to all.

So you have an unbroken line of compromise (and Reagan ADMITTED he made a mistake) from the 80s to today. That doesn’t even begin to cover the crap prior.

So the fanboys need to sit down, shut up and get out of the way. Their BS does not now, nor has it EVER, worked.

Sara, like Rubio and myself, believes in a pathway to legalization.

Does she also want to take the guns away from citizens?

Pathway to citizenship depends totally on what the methodology is and you know it. Rubio is an Open Borders Pimp.
