Looks like obama has screwed us all

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

What is this Republican bill?

Google "rubio immigration bill" and then pick from the close to 2,000,000 hits. It's essentially Obama's comprehensive immigration proposal only O'Reilly likes it better than Obama's because it has Marco's name associated with it.

You mean budget cuts have consequences? Reducing the federal workforce has consequences? Really? Who would have thought...

I thought USCIS was supposed to be self-funding? Meaning they have to sustain themselves based on the fees they collect.

You would think Googling it would be easy. Unfortunately, the first 3 pages are just opinions on one side or the other. I swear you can't get a straight answer in this country anymore. Still digging.

For the most part, yes. But it's not 100% and they do receive and rely on appropriations from Congress.

As requested, moving from K-1 Progress to P&R.

There goes the neighborhood.

There isn't an actual draft bill yet - at least not in public. He's still in the process of floating test balloons on the outlines of what he thinks he wants to sponsor. So he talks to the WSJ, to Fox and others to get the word out and get feedback. But what he's discussed is very, very similar to what Obama has proposed during the presidential campaign.

Jesus! He's talking about going all the way. I totally disagree with him, but at least he's honest that it will eventually lead to permanent residency and citizenship and not trying to fool anyone with this lifetime EAD B.S. Wow!

Mr. Rubio repeatedly says his plan "is not blanket amnesty or a special pathway to citizenship." The illegals wouldn't jump any lines, "they'd get behind everybody who came before them." No one would be asked to leave the country to qualify, but the requirements he sets out merely to get a working permit are "significant."

"In an ideal world we wouldn't have eight, 10 million people who are undocumented," he says. "We have to address this reality. But we have to do it in a way that's responsible."

<a name="U90405016215I7B">Mr. Rubio makes an exception for the over one million younger illegals. Along the lines of the Dream Act that stalled in Congress last year, he says people who came here unlawfully with their parents should be accommodated "in a more expedited manner than the rest of the population" to gain a way to naturalize.

I don't think they'll be around long. Although Kip's exile to Devil's Island may make it easier.

Come on, be encouraging. Most of the regulars are getting too predictable.

It's really a copy of Obama's proposal which you should not get mixed up with the executive action he took last year. Two different things. The latter was to bridge those that came here as kids and fulfill some basic requirements over until a comprehensive solution would pass Congress. That's how this was positioned all along. And the solution Obama wants Congress to pass is essentially what Marco is looking to draft.

There went his chance of ever getting the Republican nomination for President. I can see the TV ads in the 2016 South Carolina primary now.

"Marco Rubio loves criminal illegal immigrants. How can he be a REAL Republican with a name like Rubio? He wants to force our children to say the pledge of allegiance in Spanish "

This ad paid for by the campaign to elect David Duke.

If that's the Republican nomination process in 2016 then it won't matter who the nominee is because whoever it is has a zero chance of winning the election. Face it, the GOP needs to give on this issue if it wants to have any chance for the White House in 2016. They can't pull the same ####### they did in 2012 and expect a better outcome. Well they can but it won't happen.

Well they didn't learn in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012. I hate to keep throwing the McCain thing out there, but look what happened to him in 2000. And then look at what he had to do to get the 2008 nomination.

Fine with me. I can live without a Republican in the White House. Doesn't bother me one bit.
