Ever since a right-wing backlash blew up the bipartisan immigration bill that Sen. Marco Rubio helped champion in 2013, the ambitious Republican has struggled to find his political footing on the issue.

Rubio betrayed the citizens with his Gang of Eight activities. He cannot be trusted. His political career is over once he has completed his mission of ensuring an amnesty candidate for the GOP on behalf of The Cheap Labor Express.

I will never vote for national suicide.
Amnesty is national suicide.

Which is why they won't ever let you vote on the issue, the decision has been made without you.
