Marco Rubio: In immigration reform, legalization comes first — ‘It is not conditional’

In a Spanish-language interview Sunday with the network Univision, Sen. Marco Rubio, the leading Republican on the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform group, made his strongest statement yet that legalization of the nation’s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants must happen before any new border security or internal enforcement measures are in place, and will in no way be conditional on any security requirements.  

“Let’s be clear,” Rubio said. “Nobody is talking about preventing the legalization. The legalization is going to happen. That means the following will happen: First comes the legalization. Then come the measures to secure the border. And then comes the process of permanent residence.”

In most of his public appeals for the Gang of Eight bill, Rubio has stressed its enforcement provisions, saying that border security must come before immigrants are granted legal permanent resident status. What he has not stressed so much is the fact that the bill would legalize the 11 million almost immediately, after they have passed background checks and paid some sort of fine. That would happen before any new security measures are completed, or even begun.

But on that he was very clear in his Univision appearance. “As for the legalization, the enormous majority of my colleagues have accepted that it has to happen and that it has to begin at the same time we begin the measures for [the border],” Rubio said. “It is not conditional. The legalization is not conditional.”

Here is an English translation of Rubio’s remarks. Here is video of the Univision appearance.

  1. Rubio if you really want to help the legal American People you need to send each illegal back to where they come from. You have NO CLUE what is going to happen with an already strained country when 11 million ( it’s more like 33 million ) get into the system. Basically your going to screw the legal people out of jobs just for VOTES. Whose side are you on ? Maybe you need to look the up what illegal means.
    When you vote for this bill your going to KILL America as we know it.

    1. This rubio does not even answer emails from the voters in his district. rubio seems only interested in making all the illegals legal so that he can get their votes in the next presidential election which he believes he will be the candidate of choice. I can not trust such a seemingly dihonest individual. no votes from me.

      1. I’m sure you got the infamous automated reply when you sent him an email.

        “Thank you for your thoughtful email. I will bring your thoughts up in my next senate meeting.

        If you would like receive more informaton on how well I’m doing as senator, please subscribe to my newsletter. Have a wonderful day.”

        They should make it illegal for any politician to acknowledge an email or letter with an automated reply and if they whine and complain by saying, “Well, it’s impossible for me to read and respond to all of them in one day and to go to meetings at the same time” bullshit then tell them, “Well, we’ll just have to hire someone who CAN do the job because that’s a part of YOUR job and is in the job description. And if you have can’t do it by yourself, hire an assistant!”

        I mean how insulting is it for a boss to receive an automated response from his employee? In any job, YOU’D GET FIRED ON THE SPOT!!!

        I mean think of it this way. You are the boss of your own company and you ask an employee a question and tell him to do something and then he sends you an automated response and doesn’t do what you asked him to do. To top that all off, that very same employee is getting paid 100 times more money than you, the boss, do in a year for doing less work than you do or not even doing any work at all. Hell, it’s like a person who is working one job and getting paid for doing nothing, while getting paid a lot more money doing his second job which he says is his REAL job (the REAL job, being in this case, working for the Zionists). FIRE THE BASTARD!

        It’s INSANITY!!!!!

        And the people in public service are the only ones who have gotten away with it for years! This shit must stop! And it must stop NOW!

  2. thAT DOWN’T MEAN DOANAGES OF RETARDATIONAGE

    IT MEANS THE SITE IS DOWN AND NOBODY CAN CONTACT ANYONE (-=[ EVEN THROUGH LOG FILES ]=- )

  3. According to Little Rubio’s Rubics Cube here, he thinks that making all of the illegal immigrants legal is first before setting up a border. That means by the time he makes all illegals legal (which will take years), there will be 11 million more ILLEGAL immigrants building up and waiting to be LEGAL behind and underneath them and so on until there is no border and every one is LEGAL and they can just have the people say, “F**K IT!” make them all legal to get it over with, make them all have dual citizenship and automatically make all Mexicans become Mexicans and Americans as well. Then their North American Union will be complete.

    But SHHH!!!! He won’t tell you that openly. After all, he is working for the CFR/Zionists who basically thought up this idea in the first place.

    It’s all a part of the Zionist agenda. They are notorious for being persistent little bastards who push and harass the public to the point where the people will just say, “F**K IT! I give up. You win. Enough already. I’m sick of fighting this.” and then they get their way. It has worked almost every time throughout history. Well, I’m sick of this shit and I will persistently hang on their flanks and will someday penetrate the heart of these bastards and make sure their very influence is never to be brought into existence ever again.

    1. Just what the citizens of the USA need 60 million dirt poor central Americans flooding into the biggest depression the USA has ever seen. Social services will be stretched to the max without the illegals.

      60 Million Illegals

      30 million current illegals
      30 million parents and grandparents (we got to be considerate)

  4. feinstein.

    oH bOY YOU local lock the real estates OF THE usps OR talk shiznits frome the bisquietez of things that really piss me off if you want to really get down to it you oath breaking dual-israeli/mossaD PIECE.

    Go Ahead, Light Me Up!

  5. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Illegal, or unlawful, is used to describe something that is prohibited or not authorized by law.

    What part of Illegal don’t they understand?

  6. It is high time Rubio is impeached! He has violated his oath of office to uphold and defend the constitution!

    Long live the Republic!!!

    Death to Tyrants!!!

  7. It is high time Rubio is impeached! He has violated his oath of office to uphold and defend the constitution!

    Long live the Republic!!!

  8. “Let’s be clear,” , “Let me be clear”, “I want to make this clear”, and the like phrases, what are those words designed to do (Besides make my skin crawl)? Wake up the mass for the next few seconds so they catch the next few following words said before they nod back off into their daze?

    When watching the video from the link above a few things looked strange to me.
    Rubio (In the beginning, when he first ran for Sen.) had light in his eyes, you could see him think, he appeared Very Alert.
    In the video, his eyes looked like he was half stoned.
    Notice the big smile at first, then the deep breath he took, kinda closed his eyes (Like he was going to his happy place, or some other place in his mind) then spoke.
    He did that a couple of times during the interview. Also his eyes just looked like he wasn’t all there.
    A mind controlled political puppet?

    1. Yes RT, every time that I hear those phrases like that “lets be clear, let me be clear, or I want to be clear” makes me think somebody did something wrong.

    2. Let me make this perfectly clear you Cuban POS, What part of the US Constitution do you NOT understand?
      OH, that’s right! You understand none of it.

  9. Would you expect anything less from a former Romney VP?

    I guess Romney/Rubio wouldn’t have been any different in office, huh?

    Wake up, you sheeple who are still following your left/right paradigm format. Rubio just betrayed you and followed the same path as Obama. Same thing with McCain and all of the other Tea party/Republithugs. Stop living in denial and start living in reality! We have no government. We have only a corrupt foreign Zionist/Communist controlled government in office whose people care nothing for you and only for their NWO. It’s time to get with the program and take back what is God given and rightfully ours!
