The first version of the bill that was filed by the eight senators--Marco Rubio (R-FL), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), John McCain (R-AZ), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Michael Bennet (D-CO), and Bob Menendez (D-NJ)--totaled 844 pages. An updated version, filed just before the bill went to the committee markup, stretched 867 pages in length.
The new bill towers over previous versions in length, clocking in at 1,076 pages. It was introduced on Tuesday afternoon

The quality is in inverse proportion to the size of the bill.
STOP!

When they nicknamed it the Gang of Eight, they probably thought they were being cute.
The trouble is, they really are a bunch of gangsters. Typical of today’s Senate.
What a mess.

Now we have to see if the Gimmie-crats can get “their” Republicans lined up to support this monstrosity. If it dies in the Senate, they loose big.
All of this because we have a Congress that tolerates and budgets for its enacted legislation to not be enforced and does that for decades. What a bunch of destructive piglets at the sow.

Not really. Just think what you'd put in it. It's the opposite.

Rubio will pay a big price for his participation in this abomination.
Rubio is finished as a Presidential candidate.

And Bonehead and Cantor will oblige.

1000 Pages?
1000 Pages mean BIG GOVERNMENT. How much welfare do they plan to give the illegals?
Amnesty is not Conservatism

It sounds as though Los Gangstas de Ocho are sneaking some climate change and “gay marriage” crap into their amnesty bill.

I'll bet you he doesn't think so. After all, Hillary's the Dem favorite for 2016, isn't she? Unless something changes, Rubio will be the lesser of 2 evils to a lot of disgusted voters.
