Anybody who votes for this new amnesty is a traitor in my book, period. Including any in the House who voter for a bill and move it to conference, knowing "the fix is in" and the final result will be amnesty. Traitors all.

I would assume you’ve read Unintended Consequences. The Carl Schaumberg character reminds me of Schumer. From NY, and anti-gun.

Rubio exemplifies the importance of "natural born" citizenship. Even though intellectually, he knows that conservatism is the best way to go, he has let his loyalties to his tribe overcome his reasoning abilities. He was called out early on by Mexican reconquistadores for betraying his heritage, and he fell for the bait. Ted Cruz did not, by the way. Nonetheless, it is something that is difficult for someone who has loyalties to two masters at the same time. High office in the US should be reserved for those with only one allegiance.

The natural progression for immigrants aspiring to hold office in the US should be that people immigrate, they assimilate, become US citizens, and then, after they have taken that loyalty oath and are, for all intents and purposes, if they have children who are born in the US, those children can be "natural born". If they are born before that process has completed itself, they should not be leading a people whose forebears made much sacrifices so we could leave free as Americans. Non-Americans are now telling us how to live, and what to do with our lives and our property, and worse, they are opening the floodgates for more non-Americans to come in and outnumber us. Marco Rubio has been a trojan horse for the hordes outside.
