Marco Rubio says deport all the immigrants
By Alex Pareene

Marco Rubio, Florida's great Tea Party Hope (who is currently behind independent Senate candidate and Republican Gov. Charlie Crist in the polls), was initially a critic of Arizona's harsh new immigration law, because, come on, his parents are Cuban refugees and Florida's a place where Hispanics still vote Republican.

Now, though, he's come up with a flimsy excuse to support the bill. He probably had to, because it is mostly reactionary national conservatives supporting his Senate bid. He heard they made some changes to the bill, about something or other, so now Marco Rubio would have totally voted for the harass-all-the-brown-people bill, because we need to protect ourselves from Mexicans.

Then Rubio explained that he is against letting illegals become legal:

Rubio also rejected the notion of a "path to citizenship" or "amnesty," despite "the human stories."

"There are going to be stories of very young kids that were brought to this country at a very young age who don't even speak Spanish that are going to be sent back to Nicaragua or some other place. And it's gonna feel weird and I understand that," he said, suggesting that those hardships would be a price worth paying.

Hah! That's a quote from Marco Rubio, son of Cuban refugees. Cubans were, for decades, welcome to settle in America without visas or papers or anything, and they are still allowed to enter the the U.S. via Mexico without fear of being deported.

6. Mowing lawn

Every time I read one these posts I get to thinking we must be the only family left in America that mows our own lawn.

:rofl:

I'm going to go find someone else to mow it next week, just to know what it feels like.

[paparush]

7. Hell, I mow our lawn with an old fashioned, 5 blade, reel mower...

Just to piss off my gas-hogging, mow-3-times-a-week, neighbors.

Plus, I get a good workout!

[onpatrol98]

12. Okay...

You win!!!

[IndianaGreen]

3. Hey, Rubio, those Cubans are illegal immigrants too!

Send them back to Cuba! Or do you have only a problem with Mexicans?

[LiberalFighter]

4. If that is Rubio's stance then all descendants of illegals should be deported too.

Which would include him of course.

5. Incredible, you just helped Crist.

[Divine Discontent]

8. and I think he might have helped Meek

a lot of people who share Rubio's heritage might actually vote for Meek now after reading that from Marco! It's all in how Kendrick lays out his message.

I am all for Crist being senator over Rubio - but if we can get Meek in, and that's yet to be proved hopeless, then I say Meek should receive our support in FL.

[Jefferson23]

9. I agree about Meek, would rather see a Dem. I wondered if

Meek hurt himself as he was not a strong voice opposing the teacher pay bill. Since Crist vetoed it, I imagine
that might be something voters who also opposed that bill will remember Crist with their vote.


Rubio is the last thing Florida needs, so let him fall hard on his tea bagger pandering.

[Lochloosa]

14. You are correct concerning Meek and the "education" bill.

He should have hammered his opposition to it every hour. Crickets.

[Knight Hawk]

11. Not going to happen

Very unlikely,better to put all our efforts behind Crist.

[Knight Hawk]

10. Correction

Cuban /Americans vote Republican,especially the middle age ones and older.Other Hispanics vote more for the Democrats.The famous I4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando is loaded with hispanics ,especially Puerto Ricans.

[Bjorn Against]

13. So I am assuming that only Native Americans will be living in Florida?

15. Is this "anchor baby" Mario talking?
