RE :”Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) now each appear to be positioning themselves in the fight against the push for the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill in much the same way the Senate’s Tea Party triumvirate knocked down the left’s push for new gun control legislation. ...
“I believe that any real comprehensive immigration reform must implement strong national security protections,” Paul wrote to Reid. “The facts emerging in the Boston Marathon bombing have exposed a weakness in our current system. If we don’t use this debate as an opportunity to fix flaws in our current system, flaws made even more evident last week, then we will not be doing our jobs.”

Not surprising to me. Not sure what Paul is claiming he is for/against, didnt he recently go to court Hispanics?

Rubio still has McCain, Grahamnesty, Shumer and Durbin on his side for this compromise.

I wouldnt be surprised if Rubio eventually flips on this bill, finding some excuse. .

~ two weeks ago a Rand Paul fan here assured me that he would find an excuse to oppose this bill, while still taking a somewhat compassionate position (rhetoric) on legalization.

looks like this is it.

Right now killing this bill is at the top of our list.

I wouldnt be surprised if Rubio eventually flips on this bill, finding some lame excuse.

As the details emerge, Rubio loses more and more status, and knows he can kiss his prez aspirations goodbye. He is reduced to saying he wasn't "duped"....and seems to be throwing in the towel w/ his statement that the House won't pass it.

=============================================

But all is not lost (cackle). As I posted yesterday....Rubio can (and should) redeem himself.

All he has to do is name names---name the latino lobbyists who wrote this treasonous bill---name the latinos who cunningly connived to force the "poison of ethnic solidarity" into our laws.

Rube needs to name names...who got paid to endanger Americans, to destroy our culture, to undermine US ntl security, to force the poison of ethnic solidarity down our throats.

We need names so Americans can prosecute and imprison latino lobbyists who wrote the Schumer-Rubio "immigration reform" bill atrocity.

Rubio will not flip. He is McCain with a ‘accent’.
