Regardless of what Rush intended by his comments, he is now on record supporting Rubio's efforts, misguided as they may be in terms of his trust of the Dems. Politico will not only run with this story but so will the rest of the MSM. Let's hear what the nightly news has to say. I bet there will be mention that even Rush Limbaugh supports Rubio's efforts.

For low information voters, it will appear that there is a general consensus among politicians and the pundits, left and right, that the 11 million "undocumented immigrants" deserve an "earned path to citizenhship." As for that small group of radical Rep naysayers like Jeff Sessions, Mike Lee, etc., they just don't get it.

I fought this battle in 2006 (Hagel-Martinz) and 2007 (McCain-Kennedy). The same Orwellian use of language is being used and very few are talking about the huge costs involved in such an amnesty. Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation estimated in 2003 that entitlement costs alone for those given amnesty (12 million) would be $2.6 trillion. And this was before Obamacare that will add 18 million to the Medicaid rolls. Once these illegal aliens are legalized, they will be covered by Obamacare--and given their generally low wages, they will receive subsidies for medical insurance or be placed on the Medicaid rolls. And they will be joined by their family members--another 66 million of them.
