Instead of promoting amnesty, Sen. Rubio could demand that the Obama administration enforce 8 U.S.C. § 1302, "Registration of Aliens", which makes it "the duty of every alien" to register their presence in the United States if they remain here 30 days or longer.

Rubio appears to have embraced the Amnesty agenda as a means to correct a problem that resulted from purposeful non-enforcement.
Curiously, Rubio seems to believe that President Obama would enforce the border security and E-Verify provisions of the new Amnesty bill, despite the fact that Obama is not enforcing existing law.
Rubio needs to stop this non-sense. His payoff must be hugh.
We don’t need Rubio and his motley gang and we don’t need a stupidly conceived and deceived amnesty plot!
Too bad we don’t have a proper military leader that could lead a coup and overthrow this entire diseased central socialist government.
Florida resident who wont even vote for re-election of Rubio as a Senator..tired of so called conservatives adopting liberal agendas
The lesser of evil is still evil..and Rubios bill is amnesty no matter what he calls it

We need to grant amnesty to find out who is here?
Did this idiot graduate from the San Fran Nan school of stupid?
If illegals need to be identified, then do it.
That’s not an argument to pass some huge bill with all kinds of other stuff. That’s an argument to identify illegals.
He really thinks we’re stupid.
rubio is saying all the tired left-wing cliche reasons for this. it is time to stop looking at him as anything but a rino. he’s bet the farm on amnesty and he’s using any and every tired excuse, literally throwing all of them out there at the same time, hoping one will stick to you and you’ll believe it.
see the repubs don’t want to fight amnesty. they would rather trot the brilliant rubio out and have one of his one hundred leftist excuses convince you it’s needed. they don’t want to fight anything, and certainly not amnesty, because it’s messy and they don’t know how to go on offense on anyting, and they hate being on the defensive.
All they need for that is to legislate cooperation between the office of Social Security and Immigration Enforcement...
I posted similar to this this morning.
We have all the laws on the books we need for immigration!
Rubio, a lawyer, knows this. He’s not naive, he’s compromised.

Rubio Claims Amnesty Needed to Identify Illegal Immigrants
But law already requires all aliens to register
WASHINGTON, DC (April 26, 2013) — Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is claiming amnesty is necessary so that the United States can determine the identity of illegal aliens in the country. However, basic enforcement of existing immigration law is all that is necessary to acquire their identities. Instead of promoting amnesty, Sen. Rubio could demand that the Obama administration enforce 8 U.S.C. § 1302, “Registration of Aliens,” which makes it “the duty of every alien” to register their presence in the United States if they remain here 30 days or longer. Failure to do so results in a fine of up to $1,000 and/or imprisonment up to six months.
Rubio explained his support for amnesty and his flip-flop on border security, saying: “We don’t want to wait on legalizing, and I’ll tell you why. My original position was that we wanted to secure the border first, and then legalize. The problem is we have millions of people here now, by some estimates ten, eleven million. We want to know who they are and freeze the problem in place. I don’t want that number to grow. It behooves us to know who they are as soon as possible, so it doesn’t get worse.”

The existing registration law applies to nearly all illegal aliens. The Department of Homeland Security’s estimates of 11.5 million illegal aliens (as of January 2011) are on based the American Community Survey. The survey uses a two-month rule for calculating residency; those here for less than two months are not counted. This means that the 11.5 million illegal immigrants are by definition people who have been in the United States illegally for more than 60 days and running afoul of the 30-day registration requirement. There is simply no question that the illegal immigrant population is comprised of people who are violating this registration statute.
Sen. Rubio seems to have fallen into President Obama’s trap: First, the Obama administration refuses to enforce immigration laws, and then the president points to all of the illegal immigration that results as a reason for amnesty. Rubio appears to have embraced the amnesty agenda as a means to correct a problem that has resulted from intentional non-enforcement.

Rubio - just another leftist blowing smoke and using mirrors.
You see where Soros bought 8% of JC Penney today? Had they turned their butts around I was considering trying to shop there again. It will be a cold day in hell before I do now.
We have the Constitution.
We are a sovereign country, and no self-serving packs of politicians have the right to compromise that for political gain!
Well I’m sure all the illegals will line up to register. No problemo.
No, no ... you have it wrong. According to Hugh Hewitt and other big-government Republicans it’s not “amnesty”, it’s something they call “regularization”!
Pass or not, Rubio’s presidential hopes are over.
Rubio sounds more ridiculous every day.
Every time Rubio opens his mouth he embarrasses himself more.
Dear Senator Rubio, I am writing to seek your support in my startup company: Skyhook LLC. Skyhook is an antigravity device. Simply attach it to your belt, say the secret proprietary formula and you will achieve anti-gravity flight. We believe your image as a wise, forward thinking leader will be a win-win for Skyhook and for you. Sincerely,
Reid Pelosi-Schumer, CEO.
