Immigration Haunts Rubio
Marco Rubio’s biggest problem with conservatives is his previous attempt to achieve immigration reform.
Click here for reuse options!For many Republicans, Marco Rubio’s attempt to push immigration reform through Congress is a blemish on an otherwise sterling set of conservative credentials. And if recent barbs from influential movement conservatives and Republican primary front-runner Donald Trump are any indication, it may be the tallest barrier between the Florida senator and the presidential nomination…
Rubio’s current position on how to deal with immigration is rather nuanced, triangulating between the pro-immigration wishes of Republican donors and the anti-immigration leanings of the voter base. He remains open to creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and boosting merit-based legal immigration, but no longer supports a comprehensive effort and wants to first toughen border security, a top conservative demand…
Ryan’s rise to speaker prompted radio juggernaut Rush Limbaugh to predict that “in the first 12 months of the Rubio or Jeb administration, first 12 to 18 months, the donor-class agenda is implemented, including amnesty and whatever else they want.” The conservative website Breitbart News has been hammering Rubio frequently on the issue of immigration. At the blog Townhall.com, Kurt Schlichter wrote that the issue is “a huge liability that is going to sink his candidacy” if Rubio doesn’t confess he supported “amnesty” and rule it out. He continued, “I would be supporting you today except for the amnesty thing. There are a lot of Republicans like me.”

The minute Rubio is elected (IF he’s elected – and that’s a big IF), we should move to impeach. After all, he hasn’t yet produced his long-form birth certificate, which we have already deemed a forgery.
