Sen. Rubio defends emerging immigration deal as ‘not amnesty’

“With this kind of crap going on and these kind of people involved with “our” side, we don’t stand a chance.

I am so far beyond frustrated and po’ed I can’t tell you. “

I hear ya, Ron. I don’t know what to do but keep exposing them. Very disheartening!

[Iron Munro]

'Just because my bill grants total forgiveness and lets illegals gain
American citizenship it's not really amnesty unless I say it's amnesty."

One has to wonder how many are being threatened with receiving bombs like Sheriff Joe Arpaio was sent a bomb for investingating obama and standing against obama’s fraud. Is this why we are witnessing our representatives fold on this issue; afraid they too will begin receiving bombs? .. One has to wonder ... while obama says we cannot be distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers ... A CBS report ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh37rWmUL9Q

[Hattie]

Rubio thinks we are all stupid sheeple.

Yeah, it’s very difficult to keep any kind of positive attitude.

Remember the song “Make the World Go Away”?

That’s about where I am these days!

Shut the Hell, up, Marco, you putz.

I hate this guy.

Rubio said the bill would allow illegal immigrants to stay only after meeting a series of requirements, including having a job and paying fines, and would require them to wait years before applying for citizenship.

Rubio also emphasized that immigrants allowed to stay in the U.S. would get that status only provisionally and wouldn't have access to any government programs, including food stamps, ObamaCare and Medicare.

Somewhere right now, there are a bunch of Federal "judges" sitting around in the black robes playing with their "pee pee" pumps and getting themselves ready to rule all of this "unconstitutional" once the 8 gangstas ram this down our throats.. You can take that to the bank.

This massive amnesty, the largest amnesty in history, is huge step toward the de-facto merger of the United States and Mexico/Central America. This merged Amerexico, or whatever, will be the successor state to a dead and buried independent USA.

I just want to say, I love your nick. My father used to say this when upset. Brought back pleasant memories of my father. Thank You!

Or there is a Chief Justice waiting to declare 'you voted for them, you have to live with what they pass.'

I heard it on Fox News this morning....

Rubio also emphasized that immigrants allowed to stay in the U.S. would get that status only provisionally and wouldn't have access to any government programs, including food stamps, ObamaCare and Medicare.

He said they can't get it for 15 years... 5 years AFTER they become LEGALS...

He did a good job on it today...

Rubio:

Under your plan, who gets legalization papers first:

A. The LEGAL immigration applicant, who has never been to the USA, because he’s waiting in line in Poland or the Philippines for the past 10-25 years for his petition to be called, or:

B. The illegal alien who broke in to the USA 4 years ago?

Is this why we are witnessing our representatives fold on this issue; afraid they too will begin receiving bombs? .. One has to wonder ...

One also has to wonder that even though we provide them with nice offices and conference rooms in beautiful buildings, some of these "gangs" have to do their negotiating and deal making on luxury yachts with beautiful women present and alcohol flowing and video cameras very likely present. How many of them do you suppose wake up with a hangover the next morning to be shown a video that could influence their voting for the rest of their career. These people just don't conduct themselves like honest, above board, trustworty professionals plain and simple.

[Thunder90]

It could be the poison pill that kills it. The Dems want a blanket amnesty that allows illegals access to benefits and the ability to vote in elections, and they want it effective ASAP.

[concerned about politics]

‘not amnesty’

Yes, it is.

He is also naive in thinking hispanics will vote for Republicans if he engineers this.

Which is the ONLY reason they're throwing the American tax payers under the bus. They figure we'll just vote for them again anyway, whether we like this amnesty bill or not, because if we don't - "The other guy will win."

They abuse the Republican base all the time. Still, we bend over and give them our vote - and they know it!

Old term: Legal Immigrant

Have you heard about the yachts our representatives are visiting? Is just as you typed, and our lady representatives are going to the yachts too. Wine, women, men, money and song. Very little to no coverage on these facts also. Did hear one minor blurb on some of the people visiting these yachts but the minor blurb is only the tip of the iceberg and the Titanic has sailed. Thanks for bringing up your points.

Your father had good taste in mild cursing!
