Marco Rubio: We need to legalize immigrants so they can pay for border security June 13, 2013 | 10:00 pm
Why is it necessary to legalize the roughly 11 million currently-illegal immigrants in the U.S. before newly enhanced border security and internal enforcement measures are in place? Sen. Marco Rubio, the leading Republican on the Senate’s Gang of Eight, says part of the reason is that the federal government can’t afford to secure the border on its own and needs financial help from the immigrants themselves, in the form of fines paid when they are legalized.
Rubio made the statement during a radio interview after he voted against an amendment from Republican Sen. Charles Grassley that would have put off legalization until after the border is secure — a position supported by majorities of voters across the political spectrum. Host Andrea Tantaros asked Rubio why he opposed something that was important “to so many in the Republican party?”
Rubio’s first reason was that the U.S. has no other choice than to legalize the 11 million. Enhancing security first would take an estimated four years, and Rubio declared, “We cannot wait another four years with 11 million people living in this country illegally without knowing who they are or why they’re here.”
But there was another reason. “We need to register them as soon as possible, not just to keep the problem from getting worse, but we’re going to require them to pay a fine, and that’s the money that we are going to use to pay for the border security,” Rubio explained. “If we don’t get that fine money from the people that have violated our immigration laws, then the American taxpayer is going to have to pay for border security.”

A front man for La Raza,that’s what he’s become.Maybe that’s all he ever really was.....
Like libs that flee NY or Cali and then want to transform whereever they've moved to. Birds of a feather and all that . . .
He joined two hispanic groups but stayed away from La Raza that we know of, but I think you are right. I never did trust the guy. he always seemed to be looking for ways to support illegal aliens and not We the People.
Extract enough back taxes to pay for a border fence from a bunch of guys living hand-to-mouth for sub-minimum wage, cash under the table?
THAT’S RICH!!!!! HA!
Ergo:
“We need to legalize meth labs os we can fund police efforts to stop new ones”
They must be feeling the heat now cause they threw him unannounced onto The Hugh Hewitt Show last night with a guest host. He pretty much gave this same spiel. Sounded like a real nervous cat while doing it too.
With all due respect, I fail to see how European lineage rulers in South America have anything to do with Hispanics in this country. Are you saying the Hispanics here are of European descent? If not, then maybe they do have some distant compassion for their Aztec and Mestizo brothers and sisters. All I know is that it makes no sense for 70% + of the Hispanics to vote Democrat; there is a reason somewhere for that.
It would be easier to have them build it from the Mexico side :)
Wonder if the dems made a deal with some republicans that when they have a one party gov the reps can be a member?.
2. Marco Rubio = Epic fail
“Then some schmuck 4th cousin of theirs who gets a job with the government comes along and tells you that you can’t demand they go home. And that you have to adopt them and make them co-owners of your home and car before you can ask them to fix the fence they tore down to break into your home.”
Perfect analogy, Iron Munroe.
Sub, I read this and thought ‘is he channeling Nancy Pelosi?’ I laughed out loud and spewed a little apple spit take on my display. Funny. Have a great day...

Sure, but then we couldnt use their hopey-changey feelings to keep them working..
No, I'm saying that they are mostly of aboriginal decent. Marco Rubio, on the other hand, is White. He has no Ethnic Allegiance to the invaders from the South. He simply wants to rule over them like they were ruled over in the hell holes they came from.
Hispanics vote for Democrats because the Democrats are the party of handouts and racial spoils. They don't vote for the Republicans because the GOP is seen as the party of old White men.
Precisely!
