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.

Of course my post has NOTHING to do with this article, so feel free to ignore (or not ignore).
BUT, they did not become citizens until after he was born. Arrived from Cuba in 1957 for economic reasons, not political. Went back in 1961 but soon realized that Communism was coming and went back to Florida. Rubio’s parents did not petition for citizenship until 1975. Marco was born in 1971.
BTW, where was anyone questioning the legality of entry?
The bottom line is that he lied to a room full of people when questioned about his stance on illegal immigration. I know, I was there and he did it again to my face after his speech. June 5, 2010 at Lake City, Florida. the Florida district 4 2010 Republican campaign kickoff meeting.
Well not to be dismissive, momma was wrong.
“Back Stabbers”
(What they do)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place

All you fellows who have someone
And you really care, yeah, yeah
Then it’s all of you fellows
Who better beware, yeah yeah
Somebody’s out to get your lady
A few of your buddies they sure look shady
Blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin’ straight at your back
And I don’t think they’ll miss

The most troubling aspect of this is Rubio’s ease in lying to the voters. You might say he was new and got swept up in the legislation. Her documentation shows he was much more involved. If he believes what he is doing he should be a man and say so. Lying? More of the same and I am very disappointed. I heard Rubio give his testimony of faith. It hought ‘Wow!’ he knows what he is talking about and I was convinced. Then in the debate he threw in some of the testimony statements and I thought it was out of place and scripted. Who is Marco Rubio indeed?
She did endorse Trump.
In the last debate he blatantly lied about Cruz’ actions trying to derail his Gang of 8 legislation. But so did Rand Paul.
