Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) faced hecklers angry with his leadership on immigration reform at a Friday Tea Party summit in his home state.
According to reports, Rubio was met with cries of "No amnesty!" as he gave an address during the opening session of the Americans for Prosperity's Defending the American Dream Summit in Orlando.

Good.
OH NOOOOOOOOOEZ
and Rubio is the poster boy for the AMNESTY Bill...
No mas de Rubio, por favor.
He has a LOT of work to do for me to even consider my vote again...
Rubio shamelessly promoted Schumer’s Amnesty Plan.
Should Rubio be elected President, what other evil would he do for Schumer?
Adios Marco, we hardly knew ya...

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
[but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
They gave Rubio a few crumbs---but the "fix" was in ---giving away the store to illegals.
No citizenship, no benefits. The conversation can start after those two points are agreed to.
He believes he can make a difference in DC and I think he also thought people like McCain and Schumer can be worked with for the good of the country...I hope he learned a good lesson that McCain and Schumer and most of the DC elite have only one thing as a priority...their own skin...
I will be watching him closely as he is my Senator...
Good
Dont just watch him...
get rid of him...
how he votes effects me here in TN...
get rid of him...
Well, for better or worse Rubio will be hard to get rid of...
As of the moment there is no viable candidate to challenge him in a primary...
His progressive / liberal / marxist challenger will be some left wing moonbat...
Way too complicated. Schumer did not con Rubio. Rubio conned GOP voters. The simplest explanation is not always the most palatable, but it is often the most accurate.
If amnesty passes, don't just stay home - vote for the Democrat.
Disagree.
I, for one, will never forget that pic of Rubio at the mic and Schumer at his side.
Schumer’s look of self-satisfied smugness was unmistakable.
I think it would be profound if Rubio was heckled in English and Spanish.
As far as I can tell, that's Schumer's standard look - when he smiles, he always looks like the villain in a B-movie who's rubbing his hands in glee that he's just committed some particularly vile atrocity. He can't help looking the way he does, the way Rubio can't help looking so boyishly handsome that fans fall all over themselves making excuses for him. Schumer did not con Rubio into doing something Rubio did not believe in - Rubio merely did what he had always wanted to do after he convinced himself (presumably after some agonizing about the impact on his political future) that his aura of boyish innocence would keep his fans on board no matter what he did. I think he will turn out to have been right - his poll ratings are above 50% and the odds are good that he will be re-elected. Even a presidential nomination might not be out of reach - his Floridian fans seem rabidly supportive, and if Chris Christie, an amnesty proponent, is a viable candidate, Rubio, who's way more conservative (aside from amnesty), is certainly the lesser of two evils.
