RUBIO A RINO? LOOKS LIKE IT!

Submitted by: Nathan Huckaby

Are Republicans really this clueless?  Apparently So! 

Republicans will vote for any pretty face regardless of how liberal and progressive they are AND.....as long as they ponder to the Hispanic voters. Republicans claim to be people of high moral values, but their actions - as a group - tell a different story. That is one of the reasons why I left the GOP. I am now a No Party Affiliate voter in Florida.  Too many RINOs on the GOP! If Republicans really believe in the "rule of law" and oppose amnesty, then how can you support a RINO like Rubio???  What does the RNC-GOP really stand for???

Attention Republicans and TEA Partiers......Stop listening to the media and do your own homework.......Marco Rubio is PRO AMNESTY..Rubio is a RINO!  .Rubio's actions speak much louder than his words....just follow his actions when he was Speaker of the House in Tallahassee,  FL.  Rubio blocked over 10 immigration bills.  See details below.

“When Marco Rubio (R-FL) was the Florida State House Speaker 2007-2008,” said Lutz, “he blocked six immigration enforcement bills that would require law enforcement officers to report suspected illegal aliens to ICE (Immigrations, Customs & Enforcement).  Those bills included giving criminals an option of being deported; prohibited government services; made employers use the 99 percent accurate free government E-Verify system to validate Social Security Numbers and make it unlawful to hire an illegal alien.

“Rubio first forced six representatives each having an Immigration Enforcement Bill to hold one State Affairs Meeting April 8, 2008. He demanded they hammer their bills down to one combined bill making it easier for Rubio to kill one bill instead of six. Then Rubio pulled a "dirty political maneuver" by telling his six chairmen that were going to vote on the bills to stall the bills until the end of the legislative session ran out and not to take any votes! Rubio not only killed six bills in the House as Speaker and because no bills were passed in the House--Rubio caused six bills to die in the state senate!”

“Rubio was responsible for killing a total of 10 Immigration Enforcement Bills that cost Florida taxpayers $6 billion over his two years as Speaker 2007-2008 with stolen jobs, services and taxes,” said Lutz. “By his not stopping over one million illegal aliens in Florida, he provided and promoted a "defacto” amnesty to flourish! After he knowingly received thousands of E-mails, calls and Faxes with voter demands to pass the bills but instead, on talk radio, he said he did not demand any votes on the six bills held by the chairmen because there were more important bills to pass than six Immigration Enforcement Bills."

"Contrary to the arguments of Speaker Rubio and others, immigration enforcement is not the exclusive responsibility of the federal government. About 12 states, excluding Florida, have enacted E-Verify, 287(g) and other enforcement measures. These state-level bills have survived legal challenges and are now working very successfully... Prior to the Session the FLIMEN Political Committee received an assurance from a Rubio aide that all bills would be allowed to move. That was a lie... The trail is very clear that Speaker Rubio bottled up the bills to never move toward even a hearing. Speaker Rubio did placate Floridians by allowing a workshop but he never intended the bills to move out of committee. Speaker Rubio used his lieutenants Rivera and Zapata to smear pro-enforcement Floridians with false racial allegations."     

In that same interview, he continually stresses his opposition to "amnesty" and says other pro-enforcement things. Aside from complaining about the "immigration debate tone" as do RINOs and other supporters of illegal immigration, he doesn't say anything that sounds like it could be a code word for comprehensive immigration reform. He does, however, say something that indicates that he might support small, specific amnesties of some kind, and he also stresses that he supports legal immigration, only opposing the illegal variety. That could indicate that he's more RINO on this issue than the interviewer was able to elicit; he might support the "free market", George W Bush variety of massive immigration involving millions of "willing workers". Unfortunately, the interviewer didn't ask him the questions that could reveal exactly what he supports and didn't ask him specific test cases designed to reveal his RINO level on this issue.

Rubio's immigration stance faces scrutiny

"As an underdog U.S. Senate candidate courting the GOP's conservative wing, Marco Rubio takes a hard-line position against illegal immigration: no amnesty."

"But as the powerful speaker of the Florida House, presented with a slew of bills aimed at curbing illegal immigration, he didn't put a single proposal up for a vote".

"A lot of us are mad at him because he did block those bills," said David Caulkett, a founder of Floridians for Immigration Enforcement. "Rubio claims to be anti-amnesty but the question is, 'Do we trust him?' "

Rubio says he hasn't wavered in his opposition to granting citizenship to illegal immigrants but that the issue should be dealt with by the federal government, not the states. The Legislature was focused on tax and insurance reform on his watch, he said.

"We picked one or two key issues," Rubio said. "States can't solve illegal immigration."

Rubio's record on immigration is under scrutiny now that the issue is on his agenda and his bid against Gov. Charlie Crist for the Republican nomination is gaining ground.

Immigration was nowhere to be found in the book 100 Innovative Ideas for Florida's Future that he compiled as House speaker; now it's among nine issues addressed on his campaign Web site."

"By all accounts, the illegal immigration debate is ready to explode onto the 2012 election season, as many groups, both pro and anti-illegal immigration begin to make their cases for their respective causes. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio was ridiculed several years ago for not helping to pass (6) immigration reform bills that eventually died while he was the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives."

"According to the Journal, in 2003 and 2004, Senator Marco Rubio sponsored a similar bill offering tuition assistance to the children of illegal immigrants. During his 2010 Senatorial campaign, Rubio ran to the right on the illegal immigration issue, and fast became the pro-legal immigration candidate, winning the both the Tea Party and Conservative votes."
