It’s only Jeff Sessions against everyone else. THat’s it.

Under GW Bush, one amnesty attempt was started, but got derailed by the 9-11-01 attacks. It was restarted in 2002, but was stopped on a procedural technicality in the Senate by Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WVA). Of course, the efforts were renewed several more times during the Bush years.

It does seem that the number on Capitol Hill standing against it are becoming fewer. Sen. Sessions was one of the voices during those previous attempts.

Yes, Sessions was.

Rubio has sold himself out. He’s a good guy, but he’s got himself so wrapped up in convincing himself that he’s doing a good thing for the country, he can’t see straight.

He has bought into passing an immigration plan, that he will agree to anything. Gregory asks him what would it take for him to not support the bill. Rubio says if it doesn’t support his principles, but he doesn’t see that happening. He predicts there will be amendments proposed to undermine the bill, but will fight those.

Yep, Rubio is all in. He won’t let anyone stop it now.

Simply not true. Bush pushed for amnesty hard in 2006 an d 2007. In the Rep controlled Senate oin 2006, an amnesty bill, Hagel-Martinez was passed with 32 Reps voting against it, but 23 voted for it. The only reason it was stopped was the House opposition led by Sensenbrenner. Technically, it was never taken up in the House because the Senate bill contained appropriation legislation that had to start in the House.

In 2007 we had McCain-Kennedy that was pushed heavily by the WH. They tried to get it passed by bypassing regular order. We are seeing something similar this time.

Just like so many issues championed by the left, they never give up until they achieve their objective. They want amnesty and will do whatever is necessary to get it. The left has been successful on implementing the gay agenda and are well on the way to getting their gun control agenda passed. It will be piece by piece until they destroy the country.
