Politicos Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least:
There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, cant cut it. There shouldnt be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just cant get it, cant do it, dont want to do it. And so you cant obviously discuss that publicly.

Just imagine how bad the US workers must really be when considering that those Mexican workers at the bottom of the socio-economic scale in Mexico—the illegal Mexicans who come here with their second-grade educations—are better workers than Americans.
You forgot medical attention. Another very large problem as facilities have been closing down in California for years due to those who use ER's for primary care, no questions allowed to be asked.
And I believe if I looked harder I'd find many other costly programs where eligibility isn't contingent upon citizenship status.
Who hates Mexicans? I have never, ever seen an anti-Mexican post on Free Republic or any other conservative blog, for that matter.
My feeling is that they want to sneak into the US illegally for a myriad of reasons, some noble some corrupt, and with an open border to Mexico we have had countless Muslim terrorists sneaking in as well.
All are illegal aliens and should be sent back home. Their illegal entry into this country should not be ignored.
Trolls try to conflate illegal aliens and legal immigrants, or raise the cry of racism to silence those of us who love our country.
Nothing rubio or his staff say is the truth... it is lies wrapped in half truths and outright deceptions. I will never believe anything that they say.

Well wasn’t Rubio the little Trojan Horse to the GOP? Fools all....
He was that and more... you are 100% correct.

Politicians keep elevating the status of all those poor, uneducated, hard working Mexicans.
They should come to my city and spend some time in the Little Mexico they have created. No English spoken. Shootings and stabbings, the police run day and night there. Nothing but EBT cards used at the grocery stores. It goes on and on.
Fricken idiot politicians want to turn the whole US into this crap.
There a great many politicians and their staff who “can’t cut it”.
It seems like the Rubio victory in 2010 was totally meaningless in the long run; FL may yet want to bring back Crist, pitiful state selections there.
Find it strange when the excuse is being given that while the government knows whats going on in 300 million citizens lives but because the illegals are not citizens and in “the shadows” as the Florida Senator puts it the US doesn’t know who they are or where they’re comming from so we must make them citizens..
FR’s ;IF YOU LIVE NEAR DC AND CAN PLAN TO ATTEND THE RALLY ON CAPITOL GROUNDS THIS WEDNESDAY
If you agree with the above and the following please don’t let it lay here in FR-land. Pass it on to to your favorite talk show host and to your US legislators..
ONE NATIONALITY AMNESTY SKEWS QUOTAS. AMNESTY FOR NATIONALS FROM A COUNTRY THAT HAS CLAIMS ON OUR NATIONAL TERRITORY HURTS OTHERS FROM SOUTH AMERICA, AMERICAN CITIZENS AND SKILLED LABOR FROM OTHER NATIONS
In that May 3rd speech Obama gave before the Mexican Anthropological Museum in which he blamed America for the violence in Mexico I believe he went even futhur. Theres a inference but never referenced by name to the Gasden purchase and border settlements US made with Mexico where Obama hinted he seems to side with the Mexican claims. Would those in attendence share that view is a question that should be asked, because I believe they would,.he does.
SOLVING THE “LATINO” PROBLEM A MYTH HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE BUT A POLITICAL LINGUISTIC CONTRIVANCE ...don’t fall into the hypenated Americans trap created by the hypenated political party ...The DEMO-COMS
The Mexicans have been getting most favorable treatment above the rest of our neighbors both north and south. Theyre permitted to cross our borders and enter illegally and are allowed access to rights of citizenship (with the exception of voting which if the democrat party regains control over the House will happen) other nationals entering this country dont get.. Worse yet the Obama government has been working hand in glove with Mexican movements such as LaRaza supporting the Mexican claims which are also supporting “Amnesty”.
Also by allowing Mexicans to do this any quota ration for immigration from other south and central American countrys are taken up by Mexicans while that country is laying claim to a large chunk of our sovereign territory is a recipe for later serious problems which are happening now.
ARE MEXICAN ILLEGALS SQUATTERS PERPETUATING THE MEXICAN CLAIMS ?
We are already seeing the result of this in certain areas claimed by the Mexicans. Their national flag (standard) gets displayed over ours. Where there is a controlling number of Mexican nationals (illegals). Its displayed over certain institutions particularly schools accompanied by riots and disturbances. Blacks are threatend by Mexicans in certain sections of citys in those areas. Were courting trouble by not placing a value on our sovereignty and our citizenship.
MOST COINS OF THE REALM HAVE TWO FACES WHAT ABOUT HOW ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING IN MEXICO BEING TREATED ?
Worse yet if a US citizen goes into Mexico never mind illegaly but legally. Theyll get 2nd class treatment. Land ownership in title is prohibited period. And there are a slew of regulations they must comply with. Which doesnt apply to a citizen of Mexico.
By not insisting on reciprocity particularly on those who have entered this country illegally were offering no incentive for assimilation and were not easing the burden for our fellow citizens who for what ever reason decided to live in Mexico.
ENOUGH OF THE ONE WORLD SOCIALISM ...BRING BACK SOVEREIGNTY AND SANITY TO OUR COUNTRY .....BRING BACK BELIEF IN GOD ...THIS GOVERNMENT OUT OUR FACE..... OUR RELIGIONS..... AND OUR BEDROOMS..
Coming from you that’s quite a compliment.
I agree with almost all of what you said. I have, however, seen really hateful anti-Mexican remarks on FR.
You are right on the medical, but that’s also not just about government funding, but medical ethics. Sticky situation.
Actually, it’s called ignorance — by someone who has probably never hopped a clod in his life but who would scream to heaven were his grocery bill to reflect the results of his economic solution.
Right, but the issue is that the sticky situation exists in the first place.
Maybe he re-surfaces down the road...
Hell...maybe he becomes a GOPe star.......
What do I know?
And we are about to make a hell of a lot more of them, on the public dole that is. Oh, and workers comp claims will no doubt sky rocket as well.
And I bet that if Obama had a son he would look like most of them, which is why he doesn't want to discuss it publicly.
