The immigration plan proposed by the Gang of Eight would have dispensed more than 30 million green cards in its first ten years. A green card is an immigration document that authorizes immigrants to collect welfare and become voting citizens, among other things.
In a recent but overlooked interview on MSNBC’s Up With Steve Kornacki, Sen. Schumer (D-NY) explained how he was personally responsible for “recruiting” Sen. Rubio to flood the U.S. labor markets: “I recruited Marco Rubio to be part of our group of eight being in the gym. [Democratic Senator] Dick Durbin was in the gym… and he helped recruit him too.”
Both Schumer and Durbin understood how essential Rubio would be for their effort to increase immigration beyond the current inflow of one million green cards — one million foreign workers, dependents, refugees, and half a million foreign national students — as Rubio, more than virtually any Republican, has proven able to get Republicans to support mass immigration policies.
The Huffington Post, for instance, noted that it was Rubio’s job to put on a “charm offensive” that would win support for the bill among conservatives. For instance, Sean Hannity said in an early interview, “It’s probably the most thoughtful bill that I have heard heretofore.” The Washington Post wrote that Rubio’s role was that of official “salesman” for the bill endorsed by both the Chamber of Commerce and celebrated by President Obama:

Welfare is why we have illegals. And I don’t mean that most illegals come for welfare, I think most work, but it is the native born that prefer welfare to working the lower paying jobs.

Playing politics with immigration is treasonous, IMHO. Purposefully promoting rapid demographic shifts so that you can win elections, while ignoring the economic and social consequences, is incredibly selfish and destructive - and those who do this should never be allowed to claim the mantle of ‘compassion’ and ‘fairness’.
Roofio = Backstabbing traitorous weasel.
"In the gym"??? Gross!!! This old, fat, corrupt DC leaches Club is disgusting. EVERYTHING they do (both parties) is to their own financial benefit...NEVER for country.
Post that pic often. El Rube makes my stomach turn.
rubio is not a used car salesman, he’s a lier
I hope he doesn’t get so low he stops stealing votes from Jeb.
LOL another nail as they say.
Not a surprise. You ever watch Marco’s face while he was trying to sell conservatives on the Gang of 8 amnesty plan?
He was sweaty, his eyes darted all over the place, and he sounded like a wind-up doll. Totally unconvincing, and I knew right then, he’d sold his soul to the power elites.
Rubio wasn't "snookered". He jumped in with both feet, knowing precisely where he'd land.
With the thaw in Cuba relations, Rubio can go home now.
You're not exactly an unbiased source of information, when it comes to Donald Trump, so I think I'll take that with a grain of salt.
Well, first of all, that wasn’t about Trump. And it’s based on articles that were on Free Republic more than a year before this guy was affiliated with Trump.
The funny thing is the name of the person who did the actual recruiting is Corey Lewandowski. He is now the campaign manager of Donald Trump.These people get passed around like marijuana cigarettes.
BUT, what is interesting is Cruz proposed amendments to The Gang Of 8 Bill. Meaning he would vote for it.
His amendments, besides border security and rule of law rhetoric were: "expand green card opportunities" ("the Gang of Eight would have dispensed more than 30 million green cards in its first ten years. A green card is an immigration document that authorizes immigrants to collect welfare and become voting citizens, among other things.")
increase high-skilled “H1B” visas. Lord knows we don't have enough "high skilled" workers in this country already. (was someone saying something about Chamber of Commerce?)
Someone should have told Rubio that when you sup with the devil, use a long spoon.
Duh!
——If Rubio was/1s naive enough to join with Schmucky Schumer on anything he is too naive to be president.-——
Yup....Rubio is my senator....
You put it perfectly....you can include McStain in your sentences....
Both of those turds are not trusting enough to watch my goldfish...
