Rino Rubio: Legalize Illegal Aliens so they can fund border security

Between Rubio, Rand, and Christie..... the G.O.P. is hopeless.

On Thursday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said one reason illegal immigrants must be legalized as soon as possible is so they can help fund border security measures by paying taxes and fines.
During an interview on "The Andrea Tantaros Show," Rubio, as Byron York points out, first said there was no choice but to legalize at least 11 million illegal immigrants because he said the country "cannot wait another four years" to enact immigration reform.
He then said illegal immigrants needed to be registered "as soon as possible" so the fines they pay into the system help fund border security programs.
“We need to register them as soon as possible, not just to keep the problem from getting worse, but we’re going to require them to pay a fine, and that’s the money that we are going to use to pay for the border security,” Rubio, said, according to York. “If we don’t get that fine money from the people that have violated our immigration laws, then the American taxpayer is going to have to pay for border security.”
Rubio, a prominent Republican on the Senate's Gang of Eight with Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), said if illegal immigrants are not legalized, "we’re going to end up borrowing money like we do now for 40 cents out of every dollar, and I want to prevent that from happening.”
Immigration experts, though, note that some illegal immigrants may be able to apply for fee waivers in order to avoid fines. In addition, the IRS may have difficulty figuring out how much back taxes illegal immigrants owe. And finally, some nonprofit agencies may even receive taxpayer dollars that presumably should be used to fund some border security programs in order to help illegal immigrants pay their fines to get legalized.

I think his rational is maliciously flawed. Legalizing millions of low skilled illegal aliens will drain much more funds from the budget then whatever taxes and fines revenues they generate.

That's very true.... it will add billions of dollars to welfare, entitlements, etc....   Also... the illegals will all have legal status... which they can use to ensure all their relatives in Mexico will have a path to citizenship.

Let's call a spade a spade.  Rubio's amnesty plan will usher in a third world america right soon.  How will jews fare in an america dominated by ignorant third world immigrants and their offspring.? I fear not well.  Cannot one republican leader stand tall against this move to third worldism?

Have mercy  Something has clearly gone wrong with the thought process of most Americans... They allow the fox to guard the hen house and actually believe the fox when he says nothing bad is going to happen... I don't know what people see when the look or listen to Rubio but I myself don't believe or like a word that comes out of his mouth... He would like nothing more than to have an open southern United States border where his Hispanic brothers and sisters can come and go as they please... The basic problem is that actual United States citizens have given up the ship... They for the most part have bought into the idea that the situation is not correctable, we need millions of unskilled workers to do menial jobs, and it would be wrong to just enforce the law and deport a good part of illegals who just don't belong here... The politicians talk about bringing the illegals out into the light of day and making them productive citizens Why weren't they productive back home? People need to realize we have enough home grown dead wood already draining the system we don't need to import more... Rubio, Christie and Rand Paul see that the activist groups for open borders are where the votes are right now... Between liberals and immigrants able to vote the numbers are there to make real change in the good old U.S.A...  All they have to do is convince the gullible and lull the suspicious in conservative camp that it's in the countries best interest to put the issue to some kind of rest and the deal will be done... With the momentum this so called legalization movement has taken on there is no way politicians are going to back the wishes of fence sitting conservatives who have all but tossed up their hands in surrender.

Blood is thicker than water. 

Rubio wants to be the hispanic savior of the republican party.  But it won't work.  Many if not most low skilled, ignorant hispanic immigrants and their offspring will need lots of welfare.  And, more importantly, all hispanics regardless of employment status want more hispanic immigration because they want the US to be more hispanic in nature.  In other words, they want what's good for them.

And, you know what?  Good for them.  That's how a non-PC, normal group of people operates politically.  They do what's right for their own, first and foremost.  Only sick liberal jews and hopeless PC whites feel they must bend over backwards and subvert their interests in order to placate their adversaries. 

Anyway, the democrats will always up the ante and offer more goodies to the hispanics if the repubs persist in appeasing the hispanic lobby, whether it's increased welfare benefits and hispanic immigration, or a move toward official US bilingualism.  The Repubs will never win this game of hispanic appeasement; not even Rubio. 

The only hope for the repubs is to try to greatly increase the conservative white vote and then pass laws to end all third world immigration to the US.
