Marco Rubio: Unrealistic to 'round up and deport' 11M people
Washington Times ^ | 11/12/15 | David Sherfinski

Posted on 11/12/2015 8:52:20 AM PST by jimbo123

Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida said Thursday that while some illegal immigrants will have to be deported, it's unrealistic to think it can happen for all of the approximately 11 million in the United States.

Mr. Rubio was asked if he would accept or denounce 2016 GOP presidential rival Donald Trump's tough deportation plan, and the Florida senator said both sides have valid points to make.

"We are going to have to deport some people - otherwise, if you're not going to enforce your laws, what's the point of having those laws?" Mr. Rubio said on Fox News' "America's Newsroom." "Criminals are going to be deported. People that haven't been here very long are going to be deported. People overstaying visas are going to be deported - that's how you enforce immigration laws.

"The flip side of it is I do not believe you can round up and deport 11 million, especially people that have been here 15 years, have not otherwise violated the laws, can pass background checks and so forth," he continued.

Host Bill Hemmer said it sounded a little like Mr. Rubio was "trying to ride the middle line here."

"It's not about middle line - it's reality," Mr. Rubio said. "Yes, people will have to be deported - there's no doubt about it

There is no way Police Officers can catch and arrest all burglars, that isn't realistic. We should find another solution to this because if Officer's can't find and arrest ALL home burglars, then they should not even try and law makers need to forgive them.

Same philosophy.

Use E-Verify for ALL employment and benefits, and fine employers who don’t.

The result will be rapid self-deportation.

THAT is “REALISTIC”!!!

“Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida said Thursday that while some illegal immigrants will have to be deported, it’s unrealistic to think it can happen for all of the approximately 11 million in the United States.”

Saying “we can’t” is enough to eliminate the candidate from running for office.

I said this earlier. The motivation for Operation Wetback came from the Mexican government, who didn’t like their citizens leaving Mexico. Look up Operation Wetback on Wikipedia.

Unrealistic to round up Marco Rubio and expect him to govern in our best interests.

Soros and the gang figured that out years ago. That’s EXACTLY why they’re doing it unarmed.

Prevent illegals from having bank accounts and using wire transfer services and Mexico’ll be screaming for their laborers back tomorrow.

Ted and Trump will destroy the amnesty twins, Jeb and Rubio.

Ted Cruz Hits GOP Field Over Immigration After Debate
NBC News ^ | Nov 12 2015 | Benjy Sarlin
Posted on 11/12/2015, 8:58:13 AM by ConservingFreedom

KINGSTON, New Hamsphire — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz hit on immigration topics early and often Wednesday in his first public event a day after the Republican presidential debate, looking to sharpen contrasts with GOP rivals — including Senator Marco Rubio — on the contentious issue.

“Last night, you listened to one Republican after another who said, ‘Gosh, it would be mean to enforce our immigration laws,’” Cruz said at a Veterans Day town hall in New Hampshire.

“And I would point out, by the way, everyone talks about how compassionate it is to grant amnesty to 12 million people here illegally,” Cruz said. “They’re very compassionate, but it’s not very compassionate if I say, ‘I’m going to give away your job.’ That’s the opposite of compassion.”

Cruz’s aides have promised an increased effort to highlight policy differences with his rivals, and his remarks teed up a primary race increasingly headed for a collision over immigration.

Rubio — who co-authored and then renounced a failed bipartisan immigration reform bill in 2013 — is gaining momentum, and Donald Trump is still performing strongly while calling for a new “deportation force” to remove all undocumented immigrants in rapid order.

Dr. Ben Carson said at a Virginia event on Wednesday that he favored allowing otherwise law-abiding undocumented immigrants to earn legal status if they registered with the government and the border was secure.

Rubio and Cruz both currently advocate putting in place new border security measures before considering possible legal status for undocumented immigrants.

Asked by MSNBC whether there was any significant daylight between their positions, however, Cruz made clear that he wouldn’t let Rubio off the hook for his prior record.

“It is not complicated that on the seminal fight over amnesty in Congress, the Gang of Eight bill that was the brainchild of Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama, that would have granted amnesty to 12 million people here illegally, that I stood with the American people and led the fight to defeat it in the United States Congress,” Cruz said.

He added that nominating a clear “amnesty” opponent was essential to Republican chances for victory, since conservatives won’t turn out for a candidate they view as weak on the issue.

“In my view, if Republicans nominate for president a candidate who supports amnesty, we will have given up one of the major distinctions with Hillary Clinton and we will lose the general election — that is a path to losing,” Cruz said.

Tuesday’s Fox Business Network/Wall Street Journal debate featured an extended exchange over immigration in which Trump repeated his calls for a border wall and expanded deportations, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush decried his proposals as inhumane, unworkable and politically counterproductive.

The topic comes up often at Republican events in New Hampshire, and Cruz

received several related questions. One woman asked about his prior support during the 2013 immigration debate for legislation expanding H1B visas for high skilled workers.

Cruz, citing recent reports of abuses by large companies to facilitate outsourcing, said he was working on a bill with Sen. Jeff Sessions — a leading GOP hawk on immigration — to “fundamentally change the H1B program.”

“These stories are horrifying, those stories are a serious abuse of the program,” Cruz said.

His point, and its 100% correct, is the METHOD used. E-verify, hold back welfare, subsidies and so on, closure of consulates, tax wire transfers. They will leave in droves.

you’re welcome.

More likely Trump isn’t beholden to the same special interests everyone else seems to be and (at least at this juncture) is more interested in what constituents want than the chamber of crony capitalists wants.

Impose asset forfeiture on illegals, and they’ll leave of their own volition.

...but it is realistic to ignore immigration laws and hand out citizenships to anyone who can get their piggy toes across the border.
