U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio urged President Barack Obama to hold off using executive authority to overhaul immigration regulations, saying reform should be gradual and come only after authorities clamp down on illegal immigration.
“Taking executive action will set back the opportunity to make progress,” Rubio told reporters in Spanish on Wednesday during a two-day trip to Colombia. His comments echoed those by incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a day after Republicans took control of the Senate. …

Are his relatives still working on their raft?
that is funny
The fact that Rubio lied about his true intentions regarding Amnesty before getting elected, makes him rather like the pot calling the kettle black, or is he merely giving Obama a wink and a Putin-like nod for, “catch you later?”
So, when’s the ‘National Day of Rage Against Amnesty’ protests???? Anyone working on that yet?
Rubio was one of the writer of Immigration bill. Now why he want to wait?
If that were true then why did Obama just say that he Obama was going to issue an executive order giving Amnesty to illegal aliens or to “do immigration reform” by executive order.
it's because he knows the Republicans will never pass Amnesty
Clinton wanted Amnesty. Bush wanted Amnesty badly. Obama has wanted Amnesty .and Republicans have stopped Amnesty since 1994. Republicans used only a simple majority in the House to stop amnesty for all these years. but you anti-Gopers keep saying every day for decades that Republicans want Amnesty . well then why haven't they passed it then since every President for the last 20 years has lusted after amnesty (clinton, w Bush, Obama )? Democrats sure want it . democrats would get 40 million new voters over night with Amnesty. so the whole group of you have been brainwashed by someone or given wrong info. say a lie often enough and you will believe it. not me cause i know history
its your barack who is on the verge of passing amnesty with an executive order. this is illegal and unconstitutional and you all are worried about what Republicans “want “ to do? get into reality.
Well you ignore that GOPe Senators like McCain, Rubio, Graham and all the others under McConnell have pushed Comprehensive Immigration Reform which is amnesty.
Boehner in the House has said he wants to get Comprehensive Immigration Reform done and he has said recently that it will be addressed in this next Congress.
And the US Chamber of Commerce which funds a lot or GOPe has made it clear they want amnesty.
Romney is for amnesty and he, his money and financial connections are still influential in the GOPe.
Many GOPe Senators have voiced that immigration reform should be done piece meal and Obama has said in the press that he can accept a piece meal approach.
So it’s not lies. It’s all based on fact. The GOPe leadership wants amnesty and they will find a way to ‘sell’ it to the voters or they will find a way to pass it with minimal damage.
The reason amnesty has not yet passed is NOT because of the GOPe, it is because Conservatives in the House and certain US Senators like Senator Jeff Sessions have forced Boehner to answer the question “Can you trust Obama with enforcing border security?”. Boehner backed off this last year but has already indicated he wants to get it done in 2015.
The 2006 Comprehensive Immigration Reform was likewise pushed by GW Bush when he was President and certain GOPe House Members and Senators. They were also stopped because Americans ‘melted’ down the phone and fax lines at the Capitol Switchboard and because Conservatives again caused the idea to be shelved.
Since 2006, GOPe members have learned to push border security first and then follow with the full amnesty in as many separate pieces as possible.
Republicans have stopped Amnesty since 1994
clinton, Bush , and Obama all wanted Amnesty. Democrats wanted amnesty cause they would get 40 million new democrat voters. so that only leaves Republicans in the House to stop amnesty and they have for 20 years since 1994 . and they did it with only a simple majority in the house. R’s also stopped Hillary care, gun control , socialism since 1994. but many of you brainwashed , uninformed still blame the Republicans for Amnesty and everything that Obama has done. what Amnesty ? they haven’t passed any Amnesty since they’ve had a majority in the House . so you all are smearing and lying

your group has been saying the same thing for many years that the GOP wants amnesty. but that’s a lie cause they haven’t passed it. but if they did want amnesty then why haven’t they passed it in 20 years since every president since then has been urging them to do it . and the media too
why don’t you just go arrest people then because the media or you say that they want to commit a crime even though they never have ? same ridiculous “logic”
> “R’s also stopped Hillary care, gun control , socialism since 1994.”
Newt Gingrich’s Reagan Conservative coalition helped stopped Hillary Care but another equally powerful force were the Nurse’s unions and the rest of the medical industry because as they rightly said in 1992 through 1994 that they would not stand back while the Clinton White House attempted to take over 1/7 of the US economy.
Back in the 1960s when HHH was pushing for Medicare, Bob Dole proposed ‘Eldercare’ which was basically Medicare Lite. That is an example of what is wrong with establishment republicans, they always follow the democrat initiatives with proposals that are just a little slower, a little more restrained.
Romney signed into Massachusetts law his ‘Romneycare’ which was the precursor to Obamacare. And he was the leader of the GOPe in 2012.
When democrats fail in enacting their policy initiatives, they always turn around and confront republicans with a question of “what is your plan” and weak republicans like Paul Ryan will be given the task of coming up with the republican plan which is always democrat lite.
The republicans in general have not stopped any of what you say. It is Conservatives that stop these progressive actions.
The Tea Party Conservatives in the House have stopped amnesty this year and I think there’s a good chance they will stop it next year. But those Tea Party Conservatives are not well-liked by the GOP leadership.
Stopping amnesty in Congress all boils down to Boehner because he has the power as Speaker to allow a vote to come to the floor. And we know all the dems will vote for amnesty and we know that about 18 liberal republicans will vote for amnesty (Ted Cruz calls these republicans “squishes”), All the dems and 18 republicans is all that is needed to pass amnesty this year but Boehner was told by a strong contingent of Conservatives to not hold a vote. That prompted Obama to threaten his ‘Executive Amnesty’.
You need to get educated. The GOP leadership are not true conservatives and they support amnesty. The Conservative rank and file of Congress are the ones stopping amnesty now.
Obama doesn’t have to wait.
He’s going to open the borders.
The Republican leadership has already pretty much said they’re not going to stop him.
. I'm in ...
Bttt
The GOPe—scrambling to get to the left of Obama on illegal immigration.
TALKING POINTS Chamber of Commerce members--including publicly-traded companies---who advocate open borders should take heed. There have been thousands of accusations of human rights abuse, extortion, and even reports of murder on the freight trains transporting undocumented migrants to the US border....many coming to work in their companies.
The trains involved in these are publicly-traded companies, traded on NASDAQ, with "very influential stockholders", such as the Clintons and billionaire Mexico resident, Carlos Slim. Other stockholders include,T Rowe Price, Bank of America, and General Electric.
The real eye-opener is that these freight train companies are involved in the Narco trade, and one report makes it clear that the companies are aware of the abusive practices their train operators are engaging in. The border swarm is all about human trafficking, narco trafficking, and government and corporate collusion.
Coming to America but not on the LI Limited. No running water and flush toilets on those trains. How did the "Chamber's cheap labor" handle body wastes on the train trip?
Coming to contaminate your communities, schools and workplaces.

Plus all of the Work Visas holder will get driver licenses and be unlawfully registered to vote at the same time via Motor-Voter.
....the biggest Democrat voter fraud tool is Motor Voter, where people in the process of getting a drivers license (ie a valid form of I.D.) are automatically registered to vote. Motor Voter gets them registered to vote, and a lack of ID allows anyone to vote in their name once they are registered. Lack of ID also allows people to vote multiple times under multiple identities.
Haters of democracy, Cloward and Piven, considered
"Motor Voter" to be their crowning, lifetime achievement.
The picture from White House archives, shows Cloward (light gray suit) and
Piven (green coat and navy dress) standing directly behind then Pres Clinton
at the "Motor Voter" signing ceremony.

Oh boy.
He needs to review his copy of the Constitution, if he has one.
Exactly!
Marco is on Obama’s team, though, in terms of aiding the illegals.
