I have spoken with staffers in Rubio's office three time about this and I've listened to him on every talk show that I've been able to follow. He never even mentions this important issue.
One 'conservative' host that supports the Gang of 8 asked; "If an immigrant has crossed the border illegally but lived here long enough to be a productive and law abiding citizen, even owning his own home and paying taxes how is it hurting our liberties?"
I was waiting on the line and never got on. My answer would have been "BY STEALING MY VOTE". That is my whole point about cross checking voter registration both in the past and during the application process. If a person has come here to behave and provide a better life for their family, I can understand compassionate people wanting to give them a chance at legal citizenship. BUT, if they have been participating in democrat vote fraud to put people like Obama, Pelosi and Reid in office they have continued a life of crime and should get the boot in my opinion.
Rubio's office was polite and said they'd relay the message to him. Either they didn't or it doesn't fly with Schumer. McCain's office in D.C. said they thought my suggestion would probably be seen as offensive and accusatory and would impede rather than help the discussion.
Good points, Baynative!
Offensive and accusatory.
Yes.
They are NOT offensive and accusatory telling you to not have an opinion as a citizen. A voter. A taxpayer.
Perhaps we need to look into McCain and his Manchurian-ness.
