Marco Rubio says he would come to the U.S. illegally if he had to

Too bad for the Libbos, that no one is blaming the illegal aliens for the illegal immigration issue.

Your analogy is kind of silly, which is a shame, as this is one area we have fundamental agreement.

What's kind of silly is just saying that something is silly without explaining WHY you think it's silly.

IMO, there are certainly folks who genuinely feel that we should lock down the border before addressing comprehensive reform (illogical as it may be), but this is primarily an argument foisted on the gullible by those who are simply dead set against immigration reform. Great strategy, really: propose something that's politically untenable and practically impossible as a precondition to even discussing the thing you have absolutely no interest in discussing.

Wow. I'll have to remember that if this guy ever runs for a National Office. Comments like that are an immediate disqualifying factor for my support.

Under desperate conditions, there is no telling what I'd do for the self preservation of my family. Crossing imaginary lines wouldn't concern me in the least. However, and while I appreciate the man's honesty, he is a US politician. And unless I am mistaken, illegally being inside the US is still illegal, even if there is a heart grabbing "but". His mission first and foremost is that of American citizens, and comments like this are not going to be beneficial to Americans. Illegal immigration is like being invaded. Humanizing the action in personable terms is geared to elicit a favorable reaction to the action.

I think the point was that a MAN (or woman) will do what they need to do for their family to survive.

When you live in a country where the vast majority of the wealth is concentrated in VERY few hands, that doesn't leave much for everybody else. We as a country do VERY LITTLE to pressure Mexico to address its patently unfair "divvy-up". On 7he ccontrary, American maquiladoras profit greatly from the desperation Mexicos economic disparity engenders.

Crossing an imaginary line to a place where one can make enough to live and send enough home to support ones family isn't a big "moral" hurdle for someone who is starving.

It says more about the system of imaginary lines than it does about the character of the individuals who cross them..

The illegals are cowards. It is their duty to overthrow the Mexican system, not to make American workers suffer because of it. Our ruling class imported these invaders because they want cowardly workers. All along as this economic treason has been going on, our ruling class has become more and more like the Mexican ruling class. We need a Zapata as much as the Mexicans do.

'Ya know, there IS a group that refers to immigrants as an invasion:



Funny how everybody believes that the Klan only hates Blacks and Jews. What they are saying now about Mexican immigrants, they once said about Irish and German immigrants too. They lost those wars, as they will also lose this one. Hatred comes with a price.

The multiculties might have to pay the price for their hatred of America, its people, and its traditions. It doesn't look that way now, but tamed people have a way of erupting suddenly with no indications of defiance beforehand. It even happened in Mexico in 1910, after 40 years of cowardly submission to a dictatorship. The equivalent death toll of that revolution today in America would be 18 million dead. Defying the will of the majority comes with a price.

...well no duh. Of course he'd come to this country illegally if he had to. Every single one of you would come to this country illegally if you had to.

Far too many armchair experts out there.

Yeah, we'd all come if we were sponsored by the American wage-gouging machine. If the American natives didn't have the guts to overthrow the economic regime that feels no loyal to its own people, we'd have no fear about taking jobs away from cowards. The Red, White, and Blue has turned yellow.

I didn't know that Scarface had a son. I can understand why he changed his name to Rubio.

"I bury those ****-a-roaches."
 

FYI, he's of Cuban decent. :peace

The thing is, he wouldn't have to. There is a perfectly legal way to come to America, and even become a citizen if so desired.

We can just keep deporting the same illegal alien criminals over and over. You see, this is why we send criminals to jail/prison instead of sending them home. They are not very likely to simply stay home, so instead, we pay lots of money to lock them up in jails/prisons. I know it sounds silly to you, but surely, even you, can see that by not securing the border, it is then much more likely for illegal aliens, INCLUDING terrorists, smugglers and other fairly nasty folks, to (re)enter the U.S., should they have that desire. We tried amnesty, and what did it do? It made those, that USED to be willing to work so cheaply, stop that nonsense, since they then had RIGHTS and could get better jobs. They were IMMEDIATELY replaced by a new wave of illegal immigrants, flocking in over our wide open border, quite willing to work cheaply, but for far much more than in their homeland. Rinse and repeat?

...and if these immigrants were legalized, it would make it impossible to pay them an illegally low wage.

Thank you for failing to disagree with me.
