Senator Rubio, January 17, 2013
Caught your performance on O’Reilly last evening.
You failed to make your case on your proposed pending legislation dealing with amnesty. May I enumerate the red flags:
1. You stated we needed legislation to deal with the illegal alien invasion. Please acquaint yourself with 8 USC, Sections 1325, 1324a, 1324c, & 1644.
2. Your casual double-speak regarding sealing our SW border contiguous with Mexico was a non-statement. Senator, this must be the first order of business with no gimmickry
3. Government types are fond of spouting the number 12 million as the count for illegals nesting in our republic. That is an insult to citizen intelligence. Bear-Sterns did a detailed study re the illegal invasion a decade ago and opined that there were 20 million here and could go as high as 25 million.
4. The deportation of illegals would solve our horrendous unemployment crisis.
5. Billions diverted to illegals & special legislation crafted for illegals. Cost?
It is extremely hard to believe, with your Hispanic history, that you will craft legislation that will be in the best interest of American citizens, as opposed to the 3rd World throngs that are presently residing here.
Finally, after the Republicans defeat in the last election, you & they caved on not only illegal immigration, the fiscal cliff, debt ceiling, etc. which renders you & the Republicans as the Party of Irrelevance (POI).
