Sen. Marco Rubio (R.-Fla.), one of eight senators who have crafted legislation that would put illegal aliens on a path to U.S. citizenship, explained in a Senate floor speech yesterday that one of the reasons he wants to do this is that he believes illegal aliens are currently driving on U.S. roads without drivers licenses and auto insurance and his bill would encourage them to get licenses and buy insurance.
Rubio explained that under his bill, ilegal aliens who have committed serious crimes will be deported. However, the proposal will apparently not deem as a serious crime the habit of routinely driving without a driver's license.

[[Rubio Reason for Legalizing Illegals: They Are Driving on Our Streets Without a Drivers License]]
And what nest? Legalizing bank robbies for illegals? “They are robbing our banks without bank accounts because they are illegals’?
Cripes- Even rubio is betrayign Americva too?
I think you forgot your sarc tag. You did forget your sarc tag.....right?
[[Like so many things, don’t we already have laws against this sort of thing.]]
Laws are ONLY for punishing the law abidign citizens- Laws are NEVER meant to be used agaisnt illegals and crimionals-
Those are the three most devastatingly eye opening words I've seen on this forum in months. They spell out exactly what's wrong with us.
[[Like so many things, don’t we already have laws against this sort of thing.]]
It’s gettign to the point where the ONLY way to be lawful these days is to becoem a lawbreaker- I’ve siad it many times- I’m thinking of movign to mexico, denouncing my American citizenship- then sneakeing back across the boarder into the US just so that I can be protected by the laws and get lots of ‘free stuff’
he was better than Crist, but I hope we get an actual conservative in 2016.
Hey! Follow the money, as always: the MarcoPhone.
Interestingly, TracFone, a company that will likely benefit from this type of government program, is based in Rubios Miami, Florida.”
Oh really? What about the MILLIONS of them who have been committing vote fraud to put people like Barack Obama and Harry Reid in office? I've called Rubio's office multiple times to urge making cross checking voter registration roles a condition of this "pathway" garbage. No response has been offered and no comments have been made.
He's out there selling the bill Schumer approved, but we aren't going to see it until its passed and we can learn what's in it.
Of course not, there are none. (Thus the heavy sarcasm Of the prior post.)
Any political newbie knows that when a hot issue is in the hands of a "committee" of which one is a volunteer member, one gets caught up in the clutches of compromise, concensus and comaraderie. One cannot escape the inevitable bad outcome for one's principles, no matter how strongly felt. They get watered down.
Dumb decision, Marco. You were on a real high. Now you're doubted, derided and distrusted by conservatives in your base who weren't born yesterday. Your presidential ambitions are jeopardized. You're caught in a box now and can't escape if and when the Gang's final recommendations come to the Senate floor...and these recommendations prove out to be amnesty......which we expected from the gitgo.
A smart guy who wants to be president never lets himself be caught in a trap like you have, Senator.
Caramba!

Why not just go whole hog and do it for tax cheats?
Rubio wouldn’t be the first to sell his soul to Satan.
Coming from a state that has been giving drivers’ licenses to illegals for years, I’ve given this a lot of thought. My proposal is to go ahead give them licenses but stamp the licenses, ALIEN, or make them a different color and require a full set of finger prints in lieu of a legal birth certificate. Then require a prepaid insurance policy. The license would expire at the same time as the prepaid policy and would only be renewable in person. If you wanted you could also embed a gps chip in the license.
Rubio is such a dumbo.
Very Faustian. Lots of pols do the devil’s deal to get what they want. Rubio isn’t innoculated from the temptation.
His problem is, there is not a good reason.
Rubio is Spanish for blond.
Please stop being a dumb blonde, Rubs.
