After Phone Call with Rubio, O'Reilly Offers Full-Scale Support of Immigration Bill

Thursday night on Fox News’s "The O’Reilly Factor," host Bill O’Reilly came out in full-scale support for the immigration reform bill currently making its way through the Senate.

Despite its border security shortcomings, O’Reilly said, “it looks like the secure border is in reach – at least somewhat.” He continued, “Talking Points supports immigration reform, even though I well understand the new law will be somewhat chaotic…will be a magnet for more people to come here illegally, which is why we need stepped up security around the border.” He concluded, “I hope this bill does become law.”

Multiple Republican senators have stridently fought the notion that the immigration reform bill currently under consideration is sufficient to guarantee any true border security. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said, “We must stop this Gang of 8 immigration bill, which would give amnesty to an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants with no guarantee of a secure border.” Sen. John Cornyn (R-AZ) stated that his amendment, which was rejected, would have guaranteed border security, while the current version does not: “The difference between my amendment and their bill is that their bill promises the sun and the moon when it comes to border security but it has no trigger mechanism.” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) explained, “I don’t think it will stop the reform waiting on border security. It allows the reforms to go ahead and tries to get border security, but I think they should be dependent upon each other. So, unless that happens, I’m not sure I can support it.”

What magic words did Rubio speak that made O'Reilly get his mind right? What is it that makes people suddenly go gaga because someone sounded convincing? Has Rubio been taking lessons from Obama? People have talked about how Obama's speeches are so wonderful, how his oratory is so great that it makes people agree with whatever he says. I don't understand why it never has worked on me. I listen to him and he sounds flat, no energy at all, like an unsalted soda cracker. I simply can't hear what other people hear, I guess. Maybe I'm tone deaf when it comes to him. Apearently Rubio is trying to be his understudy or something.

BOR is a BORE and not all that bright!!! THE OBAMA ADMIN WILL NEVER SECURE THE BORDER>>>>>NEVER!!!! IDIOT.

[Truth2012]

O’Reially has always been a libertarian leaning... and many times liberal, depending upon which way he thinks his ratings will go.

He is a personality... a character on TV.

He likes the cocktail parties with hookers too- he doesn’t want to get left out.

O’Reilly’s opinion always seems based on the last person he talked to.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

BOR is blowhard phony. His stock-in-trade is having opinions all over the map so that he agrees with you on a few things, so you think he’s the real deal.

[brownsfan]

Ted Baxter.

[RJS1950]

Not new, just another justification for something O’Reilly has always supported: illegal immigration. Heard him in passing the other night saying “...they’re already here!” and saying that they deserve recognition and that contribute greatly to our country and economy.

He’s also said numerous times that he believes that obama is a well-meaning, patriotic american.

He’s a self-promoting democrat tool.

I was saddened to see that last night.

His inner Ted Baxter came out.

[Nifster]

BOR is an a$$hat

[Signalman]

Laura Ingraham did a fine job explaining to BOR why this bill is a fiasco. He didn’t get it.

[Little Ray]

More like “How is (insert name of mistress here)?”

[tumblindice]

“What magic words did Rubicon speak ...”
They’ve got your phone conversations.

[Secret Agent Man]

who/cares what bor thinks. he’s been a convenient yes-man for everything terrible the gop-e has pushed through or went along with.

[fwdude]

O’Reilly has always been a fake conservative and is basically a moron. His reasoning skills are those of a modern publicly educated drone.

[dirtboy]

Despite its border security shortcomings, O’Reilly said, “it looks like the secure border is in reach – at least somewhat.”

Yeah, and Congress mandated hundreds of miles of secure fencing - that never got built. Excuse us for not trusting anything promised until we actually see it done first.

[PLD]

THE WORD IS IRS..when people hear that word they seem to become turn coats for the democrat party..

[ThomasMore]

I watched Laura Ingraham devastate BOR last night. He was rude, obnoxious and WRONG about all that he said.

She pointed out that in 1986 we went through the same BS. And they promised back then to secure the border. 11 million illegals later they want to do the same thing.

BOR is an idiot who spins like a TOP! I watch him primarily to tear his opinions apart.

[AtlasStalled]

O’Reilly’s a self-righteous, pompous blowhard.
