Rubio: Trump's Immigration Plan 'Absurd' (Marco thinks it wrong to deport people not legally here)
newsmax ^ | 10/25/15 | breitbart

GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump has called his rival, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, weak on immigration, but Rubio isn't much impressed with Trump's plan to deport all illegal immgrants, then allow those back in who don't have criminal backgrounds.

"If you think about where he was six months ago, it's nothing like what he's saying now," Rubio said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Even what he's saying now borders on the absurd. He's going to deport all these people and allow back in the ones that are good. His plan makes no sense." Asked whether he agrees with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who said he doesn't trust Trump's finger on the nuclear button, Rubio said, "I wouldn't term it that way."

Still, he said, he doesn't think Trump has proved "an understanding of these issues or the preparation to be commander in chief of the most powerful military force in the world."

Responding to criticism he is missing too many votes while running for the GOP presidential nomination, Rubio said his goal is to actually make the votes taken in the Senate count.

"A lot of these votes don't mean anything. They're not going to pass, and if they did the president would veto it," Rubio said.

True. Jeb’s son sure took time off from his political job to help dad. Our Congress critters work less and less. Where else but politics can a person go and work one day and have a salary for life plus bennies.

“but nothing in the article matches your adding on to the headline”

ok, then how does this verbatim quote from article not fit that headline?

“Even what he’s saying now borders on the absurd. He’s going to deport all these people and allow back in the ones that are good. His plan makes no sense.”

There is zero possibility he does not believe that these people should remain here in that context.

The illegals want a baby here as an anchor. They see the child as the key to freebies.

And the DemocRATs see the parents as undocumented voters. And the Republicans see the babies as new entrants into the Cheap Labor Express pool.

DemocRAT and GOPe "Anchor Babies"

I liked the episode where Consuela tried to keep Stewie.

“My baby.”
