Rubio is a smart guy, and so far I am fairly comfortable with his plan. My only problem is exactly what some say here...the Democrats/DC establishment do not work in good faith, and either border defense will be ignored, EO’s will fast track the citizenship path or just ignore any requirements, or something along those lines. Obama has proven he will undo legislation at will with executive action, and no one seems to act against it.

My guess is Rubio is playing the long game here, taking a lead, and then letting the Dems step in it, allowing himself to be in a position to champion the popular position down the road. He’s saying the right things, and laying out the best compromise position for our side. As I have felt throughout this whole discussion, Rubio will either make himself a President or destroy his chances through this process.

Yeah. I would have thought the RINO / dem amnesty plan would have a phoney “seal the borders” clause and obama would go along knowing it would never happen. Obama is emboldened to expose what he really wants. Open borders. No borders. Incredible.

You’re comfortable with 20 million poor, third world illegals becoming voting citizens who will then bring in another 20 or 30 million family members who will vote democratic & kill the GOP....ok.

Yep. Great plan. Reward invading barbarians with no loyalty to this country with a green card, anchor babies, chain immgration, welfare and “a path to citizenship.” Let ‘em jump line over the folks who are stupid enough to obey the law. Don’t defend the border, where they just found an Iranian book on suicide bombers.
What a wonderful effin’ plan.

Obama doesn’t have to destroy the ‘Pubbies. The ‘Pubbies are doin’ a great job all by themselves.

“Rubio is a smart guy, and so far I am fairly comfortable with his plan.”

Yours is the only rational comment on this thread! Everyone else just starts “gassing” at the drop of a hat it would seem! Thanks for engaging your brain prior to putting your mouth into gear!

Rubio's plan may look good as an academic exercise 100 years ago. Rubio's plan in the reality of today is a total absolute disaster.

Rubio is either lying to Conservatives or is naive beyond words.

Either way he will destroy his chances to ever run as a Conservative.

Years back I heard Rubio speak on immigration and he sounded much, much closer to the left. I believe Rubio crafted his plan to purposely fool Conservatives.

Rubio has to know and be comfortable with the fact that the Marxist will likely get his way --- Essentially complete Amnesty, less security along the border and millions more RAT voters pouring into our dying Republic.

I agree with your take on this. As he said, barry was going to what he wanted one way or another, it would be naive to just sit on the sidelines and do nothing.

Somedays I just laugh, what else does barry got up his sleeve, he’s thrown so much at the wall in the last 2 weeks alone. Psy-ops for sure, it sadly, it seems to be working.
