Another way this helps Obama and the commies is: It attracts another wave of “undocumented immigrants” who bring their poverty, medical problems, and “need for education” here. After the social workers discover that this new wave is below the poverty line, sick, and uneducated, that creates an excuse for more government “help” as well as future amnesties.

Plus, perpetual importation of 3rd world diseases makes the USA average lifespan decrease, thus “proving” that the European socialist way is best. The USA always loses when compared to the lifespan of countries like Japan, with very strict immigration, but the reasons the “experts” provide never include open borders.

RE :”They will get the handouts/benefits and the enforcement side will never happen. How many times will people fall for this?”

I need to repeat this in response :

Rubio says at least 10 years wait and the wait will be soooo long for US citizenship that the illegals who apply here will wish they left the country and got on the line in whatever country they were born in. His plan will make them sorry they came here.

And they will get zero benefits for those long 10 to 15 years.

And Shumer and Durbin and Obama agree with all this..

Rubio is such a tough negotiator he has them eating out of his hand.....(alarm bells ringing)...

There will be no wait.

Will they all do prison time for breaking the law?

driving without license/insurance? working illegally? ID theft? using false documents?

If not, will US citizens also get a pass for these same crimes?

The GOP deserves a lot of blame for illegal immigration by turning a blind eye to this problem due to the business community. As long as they have bribed the GOP in the form of campaign contributions, they could care less.

Liz compiled a great list of these.

But Rubio looks like such a nice guy....

Rubio says they get zero benefits for the 10 to 15 years not even Obama-care(???how does that even work???) and Schumer and Durbin and Obama all agree with that.

Tough negotiator or what? so why is Schumer smiling so much?

Rubio "says" there'll be at least a 10 year wait BUT the wait for US citizenship will be s-o-o-o long that illegals who apply will wish they had NEVER left their comfy Third World homelands. SUMMING UP Rubio's plan will make them sorry they came here. Plus they will get zero benefits for those l-o-n-g 10-15 years. Plus Schumer and Durbin and Obama agree with all this.....b/c Rubio is such a tough negotiator, he has them eating out of his hand.....(alarm bells ringing)...

Oh, please, don't be so unreasonable (/snix).

(Sniffle) don't you know that AT ALL TIMES, the Gang of Eight was guided by the founding principles----government of the people, by the people, and for the people (sob).

The "people"---that's us.

That's ALL that National Review finds wrong with this bill?

That's all?

How about the utterly bogus claim of welfare denial to the Amnesty immigrants?

Does anyone believe that will happen?

Starving immigrants will be denied Food Stamps?

Republicans will campaign on denying them food if they lose their low paying jobs?

And sick immigrants who lose their low paying jobs will be denied Medicaid or ObamaCare?

Republicans are going to campaign in favor of that?

No mention by NR that I saw that Amnesty immigrants in the USA will be allowed to import their spouse and minor children.

The 11 million will instantly become 20 million.

Will Republicans demand that the new immigrants have no babies on USA soil?

That instantly gives that family a whole new set of rights since the baby is a USA citizen, because of a deranged interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

Did I mention that no Republican candidate for president has ever received more than 40% of the Hispanic vote?

Did I mention that new immigrant citizens vote 80% for the Democrat Party?

Did I mention that employers have a $3,000 per year incentive to hire Amnesty immigrants instead of USA citizens, because, according to the bill, they are not eligible for ObamaCare?

And Marco Rubio, the “Savior of the Republican Party,” wrote this bill?

“If, and that is a big IF, the two terrorist in the Boston bombing broke into this country and came here illegally via the Mexico border, that will be the end to any push for immigration amnesty! “

It’s worse than that. They are here on VISAS, like this amnesty will issue MILLIONS of. The feds don’t vet anyone now and they won’t with another amnesty. Once they lost 100,000 applications, so they just issued them visas anyway.

CUTLER: But it`s not even just the border. Look, last year U.S. CIS, the division of DHS that gives out citizenship and immigration benefits, claimed that they lost — are you ready for this — 111,000 immigration files and then went ahead and naturalized 30,000 aliens without their files.[snip]

AND THAT is how we wind up with terrorists!

What is it about immigration "reform" that makes advocates so jolly?

Washington, D.C. May 27, 2007. An immigration "reform" deal has been drafted and the gang of guffawing goofballs gather to glorify their guile. How easy it is to put one over on the masses. They were wrong.

Today another gang of guffawing goofballs

.. Let's listen in.

"The public believes us! That this is not amnesty and that we will enforce E-Verify and border security.. bwahaha!"

“What is it about immigration “reform” that makes advocates so jolly? “

Follow the $$$.

Their big donors like Microsoft & the unions give these political hacks LOTS of money. The top 1% benefit from amnesty, no one else.

How are they supposed to confirm what percentage of crossers they catch? By the very nature of the crime they don’t know how many they don’t catch, yeah they might see a few and miss them, but there’s no way to know how many they didn’t even see. Provisions like that are pure feel good measures.
