Failed Gang of Eight architect Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 79%said on Sunday that frontrunner Donald Trumps immigration plan to put Americans ahead of foreign workers and alien criminals makes no sense.
No, his rhetoric is a little louder, but if you think about where he was six months ago, his position on immigration six months ago was nothing like what hes saying now, and even what hes saying now borders on the absurd, Rubio said on CNNs State of the Union.
Hes going to deport all these people, and then hes going to allow back in the ones that are good His plan makes no sense, Rubio insisted.
Advocates of extreme levels of immigration, including Rubio, frequently claim that enforcement of existing law is impossible. That claim complements their donors high-immigration, low-wage agendas.
But 8 U.S. Code § 1227 makes it clear aliens can be deported for a wide variety of violations. If they helped other aliens enter the country, commit a crime that requires a sentence longer than a year, are convicted of any drug-related sentence besides possessing less than 30 grams of marijuana, a violent domestic crime, et cetera they might as well have slapped a Return to Sender label on their foreheads.
Enforcement is popular, so Rubio declared during the first GOP primary debate we need a fence on the border. In 2013, however, Rubio himself voted against a border fence and an entry-exit tracking system for aliens holding U.S. visas during the debate over the Gang of Eight bill.

Have faith. We’ll get Cruz turned around on the H-1B visa thingy.
methinks guys who make statements like this are betting on getting votes from both sides of the fence...: )
He should have done a tour in the Marines before college. It would have given him some weight to his character that he sorely needs.
It has worked so well they are building one between them and Pakistan.
Walls are the new thing. All the cool countries are building them to keep out invaders, terrorists and other assorted criminals.
I, personally worked with Rubio’s office/staffers for two years trying to get some relief from the wrongful total closure of the east coast red snapper fishery. Had weekly interaction with them, arranged deep sea fishing trips for them so they could see firsthand the abundance of these fish. The Florida fishing industry both commercial, charter and the tourism industry have been hard hit by this unwarranted closure.
What did his constituents and the Florida fishing industry get from Marco? ZERO!
To Marco: I would not vote for you if you were running for dogcatcher.
I heard Rush say on his radio show today that “Rubio’s a good man,” then went on to mentioned the Gang of Eight and Rubio’s support for amnesty.
In my book, Rubio’s support for amnesty, open borders, and being a member of the Gang of Eight” means that he is NOT a “good man.”
Rush needs to get with the program.
We should take the illegals out of our prisons, transport them to work camps along the border and make them build the wall. When they’re done, put them on the other side and send them home.
WOW...why even run then? What a waste, right?
Trump’s immigration plan makes total sense. It’s Rubio who makes no sense. He reminds me of a busboy, somebody lacking maturity. Above all, his proposals are bad for America.
I will bet that Rubio fully supports Israel building their border wall, probably even voted for giving them money to build it.
Good post by Harmless Teddy Bear! I did not know that either, so I did a web search. The Indian’s are rough - they make Trump look like “a Harmless Teddy Bear”!!!

Agghh - poor punctuation at 12:30 am...
As stated Rubio is 100% correct. E-verify and stopping federal aid to states that supply welfare programs to illegal would work immediately. Possible changes on directing money to mexico via wire might help a lot too.
freaken illegals cause more crime than blacks there senore’ rubio.
I support LEGAL immigration. That way we have an idea what we are getting, insanity, diease, criminality or good solid people?
I prefer a series of walls to funnel them and have that supplemented with armed patrols. The sort of patrols who are allowed to use the weapons when necessary and not the sort that maintains water coolers and popcorn machines for 'our guests"...
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
We think a lot alike.
I’ve been pulling for Senator Cruz since the first ..and I like your ideas for guarding our border.
Are you by chance a Texan?

Raised in Rochester NY and outlying suburbs. Dad was staunch conservative who turned me onto Rush way back when.
24 years in AF and another 15 years as DOD Civilian working with AF molded me. Found FR on 9-11 and became actively involved. Live in S. MS since '86 when AF moved me here.
