Tell ya' what. Call me racist, but I sure wouldn't want both the Pres and VP to be hispanic. After Obama and against Hillary, I want that successful old Caucasian dude telling younger folks what the US was like before the past 20 years or so.
Trump, and maybe Rubio if not Cruz as VP works just fine. Why? Rubio's a good learner. I suspect that as understudy to Trump his attitude would become more mainstream traditional American.

I would love to see her as Energy Secretary or
the head of a greatly reduced EPA.
I think she would have made a great president after
having been VP but that’s just me.

Nothing really new here. This has been in the works before Cruz came to the Senate...but glad its coming to the font now. The hate Rubio/Catholics/Hispanic crowd will have to twist this somehow.

He supports it because he knows if he becomes pres NOBODY will be deported EVER, so there won’t be anyone who gets deported and then returns.

I wouldn’t care if they were hispanic in origin as
long as they follow the Constitution and perhaps
push English as the official language, it is the
flux in the melting pot of our republic, something
that the democrat refuses to add.

And how many will fall for this flip, or is a flop, on this pronouncement from Rubio on an immigration issue? Zero credibility.

Wont completely solve the problem...but its a good place to start. wall + jail_time = a_good_thing.
To: FreeReign
Not really. The object is that they *not be here* to suck off the taxpayer teet. Housing them at our expense doesn’t accomplish that goal.

Rubio is really being a Pander Bear on this, who can believe Mr. Amnesty is really for tougher penalties? Unbelievable, considering the harsh restrictions placed on my parents, who legally immigrated sixty odd years ago and the current policy of rewarding illegal immigrants with health care, food, money, a place to live, phones, driver licenses.
I mean really what is the incentive to come to America legally? You have to wait, sometimes years, you used to have to have a sponsor and swear not to accept any financial aid from the government for five years and it costs you money. Sneak across the border and the government gives you taxpayer money and you get to steal more every year from the taxpayers through the IRS!

When a guy breaks into your house, you don't just release them without punishing them.
They'll only come back.

The object is for them not to get here in the first place. Not sure why that's so hard to understand. The best deterrence is that which discourages you from even attempting, not just playing the odds that you might not get caught once there.

I doubt this will get Rubio the reputation points he’s seeking. He’s lost the trust of the base. I’m firmly in the camp that sees Rubio as part of the Bush strategy, but this will have little positive effect for either one. Besides it’s a throw-away vote for Rubio. There’s no way McConnell’s senate will pass it or Barry sign it.

What part of ..."wall + jail_time = good" don't you understand?
I don't see how I could make it more simple for you.
To: FreeReign
I got what you’re saying.
It doesn’t change the fact that creating a situation where we don’t need the “jail” part of the equation is better than diddling along with “wall + jail” because we didn’t do the “wall” part right.

The fact is that building a wall alone doesn't solve the problem. 40% of all illegals entered the country legally.
So you need to use all the tools available. A wall. Jail time. Strict workplace enforcement.
You need the whole enchilada.
