Sen. Rubio, ‘You Know Nothing About Our Border’: Arizona Sheriff Hammers Immigration Bill
The Blaze ^ | 8/13/13 | Sara Carter

Posted on 08/13/2013 10:57:12 AM PDT by Nachum

SIERRA VISTA, Arizona — Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels doesn’t mince words. He’s angry that local law enforcement and the citizens who call the Southwest border home have been left out of the decision making process when it comes to security and immigration reform.

Dannels has lived along the border since 1984. He remembers when the dangers from smugglers circumventing the rocky, mountainous terrain were few and far between. Now, he says, a different breed of narcotics traffickers has amassed weapons, technology and small armies of death; threatening not only the stability of Mexico but U.S. national security as well. He works closely with DEA, FBI, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and Immigration and Custom’s Enforcement but the system is not perfect.

It’s funny because Rubio thought he once had the chance to be President. And now he’s relegated to being nothing more than a corrupt little senator from that corrupt little state called Florida, and hopefully a real conservative will challenge him in the next primary to take even that away from him.

Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels replaced Sheriff Larry Devers last year after Devers was killed in an automobile accident.
Devers was one of the 4 or 5 AZ sheriffs that were REAL hawks on border security.
I am very happy to see that Sheriff Dannels is following in his footsteps.

Maybe somebody ought to start looking for the DC politician’s off shore bank accounts. Given the fact this government won’t do what is otherwise a no brainer to secure the US by controlling the border, leads one to conclude that the Mexican drug cartels own most of the DC political establishment, in particular, the congressional leadership and the WH.

Well, Levin is a jackass, and like Rush, neither has done a damned thing to push the NO AMNESTY stance.. Talk radio has become useless, IMO.

Not really. Beck and Levin ride it to the top of the best seller charts regularly because so many are too stupid to do simple math.

So it has some use. Just not for us.

You, me and about 10 other people. The rest of FR thinks these guys are great.

When the chips are down? Not so much. History shows that. No ‘Levin surge” to blast Rubio that I recall.

Levin has been highly outspoken in his disgust with RHINOs on immigration, particularly Rubio. I don’t listen to Rush much anymore but I do Mark Levin and I have to say he’s been strongly opposed to the Gang of Eight and unchecked immigration.

Levin is good up to a point. He never talks about the real problem—legal immigration. And he supported Hatch over his challenger in Utah. Hatch voted for the McRubio-Schumer amnesty.

Rubio loves to hear himself talk. He is an egomaniac.

I haven’t listened to Levin in years, but a whole lot of FReepers have posted that Levin has had Rubio on his show several times, and has used the terms “my good friend” and “conservative” to describe Rubio. There is no shortage of threads posted in this regard.

As for Rush, I wrote him off when he invited Karl Rove to his wedding. Hannity? I quit listening to this dimwit RNC cheerleader 12 years ago.

Amnesty is the most deadly thing America is facing right now, and so called conservative talk radio....the big money guys, have failed miserably on this issue. It should be the MAIN topic of discussion on their shows.

I’d like to see a link to WHEN he called Rubio a true conservative.

Rubio deceived many before he joined the Gang of Eight.

If Levin said it before the Gain of Eight pushed the immigration bill, then I can forgive him.

PLEASE PROVIDE A LINK AS TO ***WHEN*** LEVIN CALLED RUBIO A TRUE CONSERVATIVE.

Rush had Rubio on his show and asked him point blank about the weaknesses in the immigration bill. One of the points I remember clearly.

Rush: What is the party strategy for legalizing these millions of illegals?

Rush: Look what happened to California the last time we did this!

Rush: California is lost to the GOP as a result.

Rush is firmly in our camp on immigration and has held Rubio feet to the fire.

We need Rush.

Please do a little research as it has been discussed to death on FR and every other site out there. And it was DURING the process. Not before.
