Rubio favors enforcement measures to curb ‘sanctuary cities’.
By Raif Karerat
Presidential candidate and current senator Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) — who might have been considered a bit of a black sheep in the GOP due to his previous support for comprehensive immigration reform — is now throwing his weight behind a bill that is being spearheaded by Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), one of the most hard-line opponents of less rigorous immigration policies.
The measure on the Senate floor Tuesday would impose a five-year mandatory minimum prison sentence for some immigrants who repeatedly try to enter the United States illegally, reported Politico.
The bill is a direct measure against the imposition of “sanctuary cities,” which are localities that decline to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, believing their policies can invite racial profiling and harm local policing strategies.
Vitter and other conservative Senate Republicans have been on the offensive against sanctuary cities since July, when authorities say a Mexican immigrant in the country illegally shot and killed a young woman in San Francisco.
However, most Senate Democrats will vote to block Vitter’s bill, aides told Politico Monday.
Rubio’s sponsorship of that bill came after the conservative outlet Breitbart News lambasted the Florida senator for not yet signing on to an enforcement-focused immigration bill.
Rubio, a Cuban American, is currently under fire from all sides as he’s floundered in attempts to explain his complicated stance on immigration. The senator was formerly a beacon of support for sweeping immigration reform within the GOP party, but has since flip-flopped and is now claiming to advocate an enforcement-first approach.

SANCTUARY CITIES GET A REPRIEVE
FROM BEING RESCINDED BY THE SENATE
DEMOCRATS, BUT DONALD TRUMP WILL END THE CHAOS AND MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS
WILL SELF DEPORT, AS MANDATORY E-VERIFY WILL BE SIGNED INTO LAW. ILLEGAL WORKERS WILL NOT BE HIRED AND BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE CAUGHT WITH
ILLEGAL ALIENS IN THE WORKPLACE WILLCARRY HEFTY FINES OR EVEN PRISON IS NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION.
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW EXCEPT
FOR MAYBE DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON.
Tell me why would conservatives want a
Republican Speaker of the House whose strategy intentions are no different as
the leading Democratic contender in the race for President? However if Paul
Ryan becomes Speaker of the House that’s precisely what Republicans would have,
particularly on Immigration Reform–amnesty for the 12-30 Million illegal
aliens and the open borders corporate and Industrial-special interest guarantors
for mass immigration objectives that is shattering the quality lifestyle for
millions of American families.
My family, friends don’t consider anything
Donald Trump says about other politicians, who may be corrupted by Special
Interest money. Wealthy donors are furious that they cannot buy his favors with
millions of dollars. THIS IS FINALLY THE TIME OF THE PEOPLE. THIS IS WHEN AMERICA CHANGES DIRECTION. ITS
IN EVERY AMERICANS VOTERS BALL COURT NOW.
Paul Ryan, Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush and even Joe Bidon are all part
of the same of the brush pressing for amnesty. But I do have faith in Senator
Cruz of Texas, who is
a TEA PARTY leader and not part of the politicians, who thinks that the
American People can be brought and sold like some commercial transaction?
The RINO’s has been stalling the vote to elect a
new Speaker is essentially about those who have forced a ‘wrench in the works’
for the Republican establishment in keeping their power in Congress, and
preventing the will of We the People.
And of course the establishment and Leftist media, continuing to represent the
pandering of illegal aliens–cheap labor and a majority of voters who may be
illegal. A kind of associated conspiracy between the political elite of both
parties. The media are right there covering for them. We urge you to join our
effort to end the stalling and demand they elect a conservative Speaker of the House–and not another John Boehner
who stopped the moderate TEA PARTY and realist Conservatives by giving His
Royal Highness Obama access to the Congressional purse to fund another Amnesty,
Obamacare and other poorly thought out issues.
The $100 billion to $200
billion dollars should not be spent on fabricated policies as Birthright
Citizenship for the children of illegal aliens. All that money should go
towards education for Americas genuine children, our Senior Citizens–and our Veterans, who are
treated like second class citizens, who fought the wars, kept us free; giving
their blood on foreign shores.
You can call your Representative – the House
switchboard is 1-(202) 224-3121 1-866-220-0044 – to tell them you want a conservative
Speaker like Rep. Daniel Webster of Wisconsin not another Boehner or a
Professional as Paul Ryan.
The Democrat Party zealots are ignoring our Constitution
and with intent aiding and abetting the illegal invasion of our Country. Do many
people know it is a violation of Title 8 Section 1324 United States Code
“aiding, abetting, encouraging, harboring, transporting, and hiring
illegal aliens is a felony.” Also Title 18 Section 611 US Code forbids non
citizens from voting in our election. (What a sad joke)
Why ? To get them to
vote illegally …of course. Then they reward them with illegal benefits
from the US Treasury and state coffers. What illegal invader wouldn’t come here and
get on the government welfare lists, that is extracted from taxpayers money.
The United States
is being destroyed from within and most people are oblivious to the damage. At
least until the money runs out and which is not far off with the way Obama is
running up the National Debt.
The Democrat Party is ignoring our Constitution and
deliberately aiding and abetting the illegal invasion of our Country .
Why ? To get them to vote illegally …of course.
Then they reward them with illegal benefits from the US Treasury . What illegal
trespasser wouldn’t come here and get on the government welfare. The United
States is being destroyed from
within and most people are oblivious to the destruction of our economy by
unwelcome usurpers from foreign countries. With Obama in charge the huge
amounts of money expended on illegal aliens and not to forget–America
spongers. The parasites in human form who have no intentions of working. Right
now we are printing money, but it cannot go on forever as our National Debt climbs.18
soon19 TRILLION dollars. Well after Obama’s gone for good, and House and Senate
members retire in their comfortable homes, our children and grandchildren will
be stuck with the debt..
Just today Dismissing what they depicted as nativist political grandstanding,
Senate Democrats BLOCKED legislation that would cut off federal funding to
Liberalized San Francisco and other cities that refuse to turn over criminal
illegal aliens who are in the U.S. illegally to federal immigration
authorities–ICE. Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer of the blue state
of California are fully compliance with an overwhelming population of poverty
stricken unlawful aliens, The ladies joined a Democratic performance in blocking a
full debate on the Stop Haven Policies and Protect Americans Act, a GOP bill
introduced after the National outcry of the shooting death of Kathryn
Steinle by a illegal alien who had been
deported five times and was freed by the city’s Sheriff’s Department. This is
contrary federal law, but the radical politicians have reasons to keep illegal
aliens pouring–into our country to be used in voter fraud,
Representative Elton Gallegly of California, Chairman of the
Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement, writes that Congress needs
to step up and pass MANDATORY E-VERIFY. Gallegly has said MANDATED-Verify as
part of the Legal Workforce Act, jobs would open up for millions of American
workers while removing counterfeiting and fraud from the hiring process. This
can be done now and Americans along with lawfully admitted immigrants should ruffle
the feathers of your Representative and demand action on it. Additionally
“Kate’s” law to end the spread
of ‘Sanctuary Cities’ and end this criminal enterprise, by such cities as San
Francisco where the murder of Kate Steinle died at the hands of an illegal
alien some months ago.
Republican Gallegly states that the Legal
Workforce Act is the only bill that can guarantee millions of Americans,
low-skill and talented jobs will immediately gain work. By passing the bill and
mandating E-Verify, Gallegly has pointed out that most illegal immigrants will
have trouble finding a job, then millions will repatriate themselves. Gallegly
has indicated that there is no economic or political reason to impeding making
E-Verify mandatory. To move the bill forward is a vital and uncomplicated way
to prove our commitment to putting Americans/permanent residents back to
work. Gallegly proclaims for the sake of the American worker, ‘the Legal
Workforce Act’ must be voted on now. Demand it of your representatives. today?
