Do Rubio and Ryan really trust Obama to enforce immigration law?
If this crowd will, for political reasons, hold off arresting someone who repeatedly molested an eight-year-old boy, how can they be expected to arrest the many ordinary illegal aliens who will inevitably fail to qualify under whatever criteria are included in the Obama-Rubio-Ryan amnesty?
And if the answer is “no,” i.e., that Rubio and Ryan don’t trust Obama to enforce whatever deal they manage to push through Congress, then why won’t we just end up with another 11 million illegal aliens a few years down the road?

We will, and both Rubio and Ryan know that.

No, Rubio and Ryan have decided that this benefits Rubio and Ryan’s presidential ambitions.

Rubio and Ryan are screaming for amnesty – to reward the lawbreakers and make a mockery of the laws. I don’t trust either of these turds as far as I can throw him. They can both take a running leap.
Barky is just totally lawless. His position on illegals is the same as his position on anything – it’s his whim that matters, not any stinking law.

Rubio wants to live in the White House – and he doesn’t care how he gets there – he is an obama-style opportunist.
Pork-Chop on January 16, 2013 at 7:29 PM
Yes.. but he is our blatant opportunist and Democrats hate him.

if they do, they’re stupid

But if Rubio or Ryan win in 2016 they can enforce the border.
terryannonline on January 16, 2013 at 7:44 PM
No, they trust him NOT to enforce the border, and they don’t much care, nor does any amnesty supporter, and it won’t matter much by then anyway, any more than it does now, if we’re going to let them stay.
Game over. lefties win. As always, they couldn’t have done it without a great many useful idiots pretending to be on the right.
They always manage to find them. Every time.

who is your guy now?
Flapjackmaka on January 16, 2013 at 8:04 PM
Umm.. Ryan because Rubio is still fluffy as hell. But Rubio would be a good VP.

Good God, is that what the Menendez aide did or is he referencing something else? If that’s the Menendez guy, then he would have lost the race even in New Jersey.

Which proves they’re both too stupid to be president. Not only will it not benefit either of them, it pretty much guarantees they lose.
The one who is the most liberal.
And they can give everyone a unicorn too. Meanwhile, back in the real world, amnesty supporters aren’t interested in securing the border.

Ummm.. None of the illegals will be voting four years from now. Put proof of citizenship in the voting laws. And yes it does help… It’s the reason Dubya won in 2004.
No.. Which one is the nicest to look at.
Yes.. amnesty supporters want that. No Rubio and Ryan don’t. The idea is that Rubio or Ryan will be the one enforcing the border in 2016.
