Phyllis Schlafly, architect of the modern conservative movement and tireless opponent of mass immigration, says GOP hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% should be disqualified from the race for dishonestly saying one thing about amnesty in English and another in Spanish.
"If Jeb's candidacy falters despite the $114 million he raised, the establishment's next choices, Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have basically similar views," she wrote in her Monday World Net Daily column:
Kasich said the 12 million illegals should be "legalized once we find out who they are," and Rubio said Obama's executive amnesty "can't be terminated because there are already people benefiting from it."
Rubio's statement was made in Spanish on the Spanish-language network Univision, which is reason enough to eliminate him from serious consideration. When somebody is running for president of the United States, why should we have to get somebody to translate his remarks into English?
Why indeed? Bilingualism has corroded political discourse rather than strengthened it. Lying in a different language is a becoming bipartisan pastime. Democratic Rep. Luis Gutiérrez mocked Kathryn Steinle's death during a Spanish Telemundo interview, calling it a "little thing." Steinle was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien. Gutierrez exploded with rage when an expert immigration witness calmly called him out during a congressional hearing.
Breitbart News exposed how Rubio himself endorsed Obama's first executive action acted on behalf of illegal aliens, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), in Spanish to Jorge Ramos, then his campaign claimed he didn't--then they did when pressed.

She has actually endorsed Trump.
It’s tough.
Cruz or Rubio, Cruz or Rubio.
Cruz bots have been horribly nasty,,Rubio supporters,,meh,not so much. Yet.
We’ll see.
Rubio is an “anchor baby” not a Natural Born Citizen, not that anyone gives a FF.
Never say “never”.
Rubio is more than that...but people will find out soon enough...
Good For Phyllis Schlafly...
-—Rubio is an âanchor babyâ not a Natural Born Citizen, not that anyone gives a FF-—
Right...nobody outside of the birther movement gives a FF since Obama...
How about getting riled up on legitimate reasons like Rubio playing us on amnesty...?
and where is the difference between the three? LOL
Rush is a great man and responsible for conservative radio as it is today. I listened to him talk about Rubio and it seemed like a man trying to sell something that he really doesn’t believe in. In this he is wrong!
Hmmm, would an official amnesty be any worse than the UNofficial one we have seen since 2008?
There will be a court challenge by the MediaRats should either Cruz or Rubio be nominated since neither are eligible to be president.
My biggest beef with Cruz is his claim that this constitutional point is “settled law”, that is a total falsehood and he knows it is NOT true. Rush has said basically the same thing and keeps talking about “he is a citizen” which has never been the point. I am disappointed in Rush and Mark on this issue but that doesn’t stop me from paying attention to what they say about other things.
Rubio is entitled to his own opinions and there isn’t a single candidate who has not supported positions antithetical to “conservative” beliefs.
He is not my candidate. Would I vote for him over Mrs Cosby or Crazy Bernie? That isn’t even a serious question except among fanatics.
Rubio is an open borders kind of guy.
Not soon enough for me. ;>)
No, she is not for Kasich, she was for Trump.
She is right that the weasel Rubio is a liar and Gang of 8 sellout.
Rubes isnt conservative. Paid off amnesty puppet.
“Rubio said Obama’s executive amnesty “can’t be terminated because there are already people benefiting from it.””
So he will keep Obamacare because some people are already benefitting from it?
Rubes seems racist with his open borders scheme.
“Likewise, TRUMP is more than welcome to translate some of those Hispanic Language clips and play them side-by-side with what heâs saying in English.”
Go Trump! I bet he’ll do it.
Rush is wrong about Rubio. He’s a dem playing the race card.
Marco Arafat reminds me of Arafat saying one thing in english to the West so he could squeeze Western money out of them and another in arabic to his Palestinean brethren completely at odds with what he told the West.
Serious charge.
That was the first thing that came to mind:
Q: Ahat do you call it when a person says one thing in one language, and the opposite in another language?
A: Arafat.
Not a good comparo for Rubio. Devasating.
