— DrewM Marco Rubio was all over the Sunday shows today fronting for Team Amnesty. I didn't see any of his appearances but I'm willing to bet he didn't mention this little factoid.
In fact, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll indicates that Latinos are clamoring for stricter gun measures more than most groups in America. According to the poll, 70 percent of Latinos believe that "that the laws covering the sale of firearms should be made more strict," while just five percent believe they should be made less strict and 22 percent believe they should be kept the same.
In case you've forgotten them, here's a handy list of reasons of why amnesty (and yes, it's amnesty) will have zero positive impact for the GOP.
As always, if you want amnesty because you think it's the moral thing to do, fine. Just don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining new GOP/conservative voters.

What if we all stopped pay taxes? What's the difference? We already have immigration law. If it doesn't mean anything what law does?

This is wrong.
How come this doesn't address sanctuary cities?
Why are we tolerating this lawlessness?
What do you think would happen to you if you put a lightning link in your AR and they caught you?
No we have to go back to only allowing skilled workers, who speak understandable English in. We have plenty of unskilled unemployed here. We don't need to import more.

Does anybody know WHY Hispanics are going that way?
The facts are pretty clear that gun control runs counter to public safety, with "gun-free zones" having been exposed as shooting galleries where deranged lunatics go to plug away at innocent disarmed civilians, and Chicago being a bloodbath.
The only reason for gun control is pure statism. Are Hispanics statists, or "useful idiots"?

This is about corporate welfare, and cheap workers.
Unrestricted immigration was fine back in the 19th Century, when we didn't coddle the lazy, or coddle people who wouldn't learn the language and culture.

Every time I see a debate about what to do about illegal aliens, someone offers the same stupid proposition that if you can't deport 15 million + people, then you simply must legalize them. Why this is is never explained by anyone.
BTW, another question that remains unanswered is...."Who the fuck is Grover Norquist?"

So sick of hearing what group think "Latino" or "Hispanic" want and don't want. People are giving them too much clout and they are enjoying their mythological power.

Immigration is to Rubio what campaign finance reform was to McCain.
He's betting his life on it and he's too stubborn/naive to see that the consequences will not be good for him or for the country.

Still lost on how immigration violation is different but for some reason it is. It is amnesty until they are caught and then they get deportation for the crime with no treatment and way not to be an illegal trespasser. Is the only way to get treatment to not be an illegal trespasser is wait in line in their home country. Is there no punishment that one can do in the US without going home that is not called amnesty. When the are done with the punishment they get a green card that could be revoked and then deported if terms are not followed not citizenship papers with no threat of deportation.
If they removed the quotas and lottery system to get legal status people would not have to wait years to get to the US. They show up at and after a background checks get a green card the same week not 10 years later as the US is maxed on how many legal people are allowed in from said country for said year.

You're still a Republican? How quaint. That's like old folks who still insist on subscribing to TV Guide.

OT -
I originally thought the hype about Kerry's latest was the usual absurd nonsense (WE'RE going to go tell China what to do, and expect them to say "Well, OK, anything for our pals in the US!").
Then I recalled that Kerry and China were on the same side in the Vietnam War, so maybe he'll have a little more sway with them than the usual Secretary of State, after all!
The local news coverage of the event was typically absurd, with one news show describing his mission as "trying to keep the two Koreas from going to war with each other." Yeah, like we need to go over and ask the SOUTH Koreans to please not go to war with their neighbor to the north. ...
I normally never watch that crap - it was kind of a fluke.

I just saw Larry Kudlow say that we needed more immigrant labor because of so many people leaving the workforce. So the problem of millions of Americans unable to find a job will be solved by introducing millions of workers willing to work for less.
Don't even try to make sense of it.

Yeah, and then you'd have 10-15 million people a year coming here, and the U.S. would turn into a third world shithole faster than you can say La Raza.
Posted by: Steve at April 14, 2013 11:16 AM (K+XQ4)
The Democratic Party is more supportive of amnesty, wants it to occur faster than even Republican supporters of amnesty do, and more Democrats than Republicans will vote in favor of the amnesty.
So in addition to all the other reasons why Hispanics are currently voting more for the Democrats than for the Republicans, this will add on another reason -- the Democrats will take, and deserve, more credit for the amnesty than Republicans will.
(Oh, by the way, the most Republican segment among Hispanics has tended to be Cuban-Americans. Guess which Hispanic nationality has little need for amnesty, since most of them already have legal status, and isn't likely to have large immigration to the U.S. in the near future?)

If he thinks this issue helps the GOP, he's just an idiot. Illegal immigrants are NOT a naturally "conservative" bloc. If he thinks it'll help his presidential aspirations, he's either delusional or a fool. The Progressives/Democrats/"Moderates" will dump him just as fast as they dumped Juan McAmnesty.
So, that leaves us with Misguided Politician (aka Useful Idiot) or Front Man for a Con.
Actually, he's not really a Useful Idiot after all. The Florida Tea Party will, unfortunately, need to try again.

Ronald Reagan said his greatest mistake was trusting the democrats to keep up their end of the bargain. He was talking about the federal budget. He got his tax cuts and a promise from the house democrats to cut spending. They didn't do it.
So. Rubio (and friends) are about to repeat that same mistake, trust the democrats to secure the border.
Some people never learn.
