Rubio: If we don't pass immigration reform, Obama might legalize illegals by executive order

Skip to 3:45 for the key bit, in which a guy who’s willing to go nuclear in a quixotic bid to defund ObamaCare warns his party not to be too obstinate in resisting immigration reform — or else. Mark Krikorian summarizes his logic this way: Mark Krikorian @MarkSKrikorian Give your toddler all the candy he wants, because otherwise he´ll just take it anyway: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/08/marco-rubio-immigration-executive-order-95487.html … (Snip)In fairness to him, Rubio’s not making this up. Amnesty shills on the left have warned, with increasing volume lately, that King Barack might decide to grant de facto amnesty to illegals via executive order

Its like saying if you don’t kill yourself, he’ll do it for you.

Well, he’s gonna have to pull that trigger.

[longfellowsmuse]

I’ll second that!

[jazusamo]

Take a hike, Rubio...You’re no conservative.

[drypowder]

that line of crap is just like the one Shmucky spewed when he told the rebubs in the house if they don't pass an immigration bill that includes amnesty, they will never win another election.

[Cheerio]

Her Rubio - just please explain how he can legally create and issue a LAW from the Oval Orifice.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

One word of advise for Mr. Rubio. Impeachment.

[taildragger]

What is sad Marco you and the rest of the Geldings in the House and Senate who have standing won't take his unconstitutional Executive Orders to the Supremes to reign in his power, but then again, considering they probably have the goods on Roberts via Obamacare ruling maybe it's better you don't!

How about changing the Agenda and come up with Conservative Bills?

Where is a Debate on the Flat vs Fair Tax?

Where are more old fashioned Rand Paul Senate Filibuster?

I swear Freddo Corleone is looking like a rocket scientist compared to this guy...

[Darksheare]

Then you work to reign in the bigeared manchild via congress, you don’t cave in and give the tantrum throwing creep what he wants!
Sheesh, Rubio is such an idiot!

[atc23]

Excellent point. Doing nothing is always an option. We certainly wouldn't be any worse off than we are now. Why "must" we do something on this?

Follow the money and it will expose all.

[ptsal]

Not Executive Order.... Dictatorial Edicts

[Little Ray]

Legalize them through a shamensty or legalize them through royal decree. Big effin deal. Both stink on ice.

[dforest]

So what Marco, let him. Gawd this guy is a fool!

[Breto]

God this Rubio moron is pathetic... of course he would you pis* ant cause you Vichy Rinos are to busy eating your own feces to oppose him,.. Go away you collaborative coward and tongue kiss Schumar again...

[Mortrey]

Sorry, Rubio-—you’re automatically tuned out now, just like Benghazi Barry.

[Delta Dawn]

What every member in congress should have as a daily mantra is;

‘Do what is right’

No, rewarding people who have broken the law with citizenship and giveaways is not the right thing to do.

Either the Republican Party is in cahoots with the Democrats, a/k/a, Obama or they are the most spineless, gutless, principle-less political party in the history of the world. If they had any hind legs to stand on, they would tell Obama to take his executive orders and stick them up his ass. Our Constitution called for three separate branches of Government, all coequal. To wit} The Executive Enforces the laws the legislative branch enacts. The Legislative Enacts the laws which the Executive enforces, not makes or amends. The Judicial Intrephets the laws that the legislative branch enacts when controversy occurs.

It is my personal opinion that the Republican Party is infected with a combination of Democrat itus and no spine, hind legs, or balls.

If any other member of this forum has a different theory, please enlighten me. Republican Party politicians and Party Chairmen/women are included in this request.

[Truth is a Weapon]

Let him do it. All those people’s status would be legally questionable. A subsequent Congress and POTUS could undo it. It would be tied up in courts for some time. Who knows how it would come out?

[Lera]

He’s from Miami . Miami politics is all about bribes .
There is a trail of money somewhere for this two bit amnesty hustler

[SENTINEL]

We are surrounded by enemies, both foreign and domestic.

RINO Rubio evidently (unsurprisingly?) doesn’t understand that executive orders do not have the force of law if they don’t have the legislative support of Congress. Either that, or he knows the limits of what executive orders can do and is just blowing things out his arse with respect to trying to misguide his low-information supporters.
