Taking the lead on immigration reform for Republicans, Sen. Marco Rubio broke away from the John McCain/Lindsay Graham mavericky-ness today and called into Rush Limbaugh’s radio program to have an honest, conservative discussion. Rubio warned that “there won’t be a solution” on immigration unless President Obama embraced “real enforcement triggers.”
“The president has a choice to make today,” Rubio said. “If he’s gone to Las Vegas to give a speech and try to trigger a bidding war, then no, it doesn’t bode well. There won’t be a solution. We’ll just continue to have what we have now, because that issue, I think is a bright line for most of us involved in this effort. Unless there’s real enforcement triggers, we are not going to have a bill that moves on to the opportunity to apply for a green card.”
When pressed on the potential of a standoff with the president, Rubio warned that pushing the issue of immigration to the left would be a good way to shut down the prospect of reform. “If today becomes the beginning of a bidding war where he tries to be even more liberal than members of his own party in the Senate, then I think we clearly know what his intentions are, and I don’t think that’s going to be a good development,” Rubio said.

Because Thou servedst Not the Lord thy God with Joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things.48 Therefore shall thy serve thy enemies which the LORd shall send against thee in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck (oppress you) until he hath destroy thee.49 The LOrd shall bring a nation from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a Nation whose tongue(Language)thou shalt not understand 50 A nation of fierce coutenance which shall not regard (pay any respect) to the person of old, nor show favour to the young 51 and he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine(cattle) or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.( it can be your stuff)52 and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, where in thou trusts, throughout all the land, and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy GOD hath given me.

Jan. 30, 2013 at 9:29amwhen he says they can come and work but won’t be on welfare except for Obama care. I am in a mix neighbor hood. There are a lot of people not working. When he says the illegals cannot get on welfare but can work where are those jobs going to come from? We have U.S. citizens now not working. I was looking at a story yesterday Latinos Gangs running out black Americans out of there neighborhoods right in California. The T.V are telling the whites there racist and if they are Conservetive blacks there uncle toms, and I don’t know what they call a conservative Latino? But they are not cleaning up the problems in there own states there so worryed about the vote when there suppose to be working 4 the people. when they get in and keep getting pork and worrying about the next term votes when they do nothing but collect a paycheck for doing arguments in front of cameras during the day and party together at night. they come from the wolves den to give to the sheep lies of protection 4 your good. there wolves in sheep clothing both sides. They Lead us to the slaughter they want the constitution gone and sharia law in yet no 1 throws them out while they tell you this is for your protection on your body ,home in your car It don’t matter what color we are. they want to herd us all up and you will take the mark of the beast cause if you don’t you get nothing. Christ is not a baby or a white or black guy in a picture Christ is not a color. He is the Word of GOD Prophecy is true.Choose Ch

Jan. 30, 2013 at 5:06pmWhat do they call a conservative Latino? A coconut — brown on the outside, white on the inside. And, that ethnic cleansing of black Americans out of their traditional areas of Los Angeles by the Mexican Mafia has been going on for years. The MSM is only now starting to report on the phenomenon, they don’t like reporting brown on black crime because the Democrats still need the black vote. However, if there is another amnesty (the current proposal would be the eighth since the first in 1986), the Democrats won’t need the black vote anymore. This is obvious here in California where good, young black kids are routinely assassinated by Mexican Mafia associates and yet the Democrats REFUSED to mandate the arrest and removal of these illegal aliens through the passage of Jameil’s Law. Jameil Shaw Jr. was assassinated for the crime of “walking while black” in his own neighborhood. The assassin was an illegal alien Mexican Mafia member who was released from jail 25 hours prior to the assassination. The criminal illegal alien was not reported to ICE for an immigration hold after his earlier crime, it took the assassination of an innocent High School football star for the LAPD to even mention his name to the Feds. The Democrats are “electing a new people” through the mechanism of illegal invasion and revolving amnesties, followed by the watering down of citizenship requirements. They want to turn the entire country into a copy of Mexifornia.

Jan. 30, 2013 at 12:25amSen. Marco Rubio is as right as rain on this one. It does NO GOOD, what-so-ever, to pass immigration reform without securing the borders first. You don’t that first and you open the flood gates to America for illegal immigration worse than we’ve ever known before. That’s like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in it… it’s totally wasted efforts. Have the liberal socialist communist democrats lost all manner of logical, common sense thought and patriotism within their party? From everything I’m seeing, YES THEY HAVE. America is under attack by the socialist communist party and it is the democrats. Wake up America.

Jan. 29, 2013 at 6:36pmObama has one agenda – to destroy the Republican party. He is going to try and make everyone think he is fighting Republicans on this so the vote in 2016 will be Democratic – he is NOT a president….he is a campaigner and will always be ONLY THAT!

Jan. 30, 2013 at 12:48amCorrection………………… Obama is a Socialist/Communist who is doing his level best to destroy this country’s economy in any way he can. Discredit the Constitution and try to make it look like it’s out of date and irrelavant in todays scheme of things. It’s only irrelavant to the liberal socialist/communist agenda. The constitution was created for the exclusive purpose of blocking people like Obama and the liberal socialist from destroying this country and our way of life. The sooner people understand that, the faster we can begin to heal this land.

Jan. 29, 2013 at 4:54pmAs an conseritive American that body produces melanin (I’m black), I take great offense that this is even happening. But I am taking an immense perverted pleasure in the fact that all of the “African Americans” should now feel like FOOLS for voting for a man that basically gave them the finger. When unemployment in the black community is in double digits, what does their president do? He tells 20m illegal aliens to “Come on in, you’re our new nigra’s now” What have these illegal aliens fought for? Died for? Bled for? the answer; NOTHING. Was there an immigration problem in this country when black folks was hanging from trees? Was there treks across the desert when “Colored Only” signs were hanging? Yet they walk into my house and DEMAND from me what they are too cowardly to fight for. How many marches are taking place in Mexico for schools, housing, jobs, medical treatment? NONE. My forefathers withstood horrors that I could never imagine, withstood indignities that I will never endure to give me the rights that I have now. Have fought bravely on the front line of battle to return to her shores and be called a ****** an a boy. Yet these people want everything for nothing. They say we can’t completely seal the border, Wrong, yes it can be sealed by one directive, shoot to kill. I feel like this, if you have to fill in the blank and hyphenate American to identify who you are, please pack your trash and return to where you’re representing, I quite sure they miss

Jan. 29, 2013 at 4:38pmWhat amazes me is everyone is surprised that King Barry the Magnificent wants to raise the bar yet again. He wants to tie gay rights (gay marriage/civil union) into the mix and grant them the same rights as a hetero couple. Here is the thing about this–the Latino community is not for this so he is trying to make an issue out of a non-issue. According to ICE this would involve fewer people that the number that get slaughtered in Chicago each year–so he would throw twelve to twenty million under the bus for a few hundred? Who is playing politics now?
