BWAHAHA! F.U.M.R - "Marco Rubio Criticizes Obama Policy Similar To His Own"



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/24/marco-rubio-obama-immigration_n_1622259.html

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) attacked President Barack Obama's new immigration policy on Sunday, claiming that the new standard, which grants certain young undocumented immigrants a reprieve from deportation, "injects politics" into the debate over immigration.

"It's a short-term fix for a long-term problem," Rubio said on "NBC's Meet The Press." "The issue has been politicized by the president."

Immigration has been a deeply political issue for years. Leading Republican politicians have repeatedly proposed immigration reforms, only to withdraw their comments and proposals amid heated charges of "amnesty" from conservative activists.

Rubio has long supported an immigration policy very similar to Obama's, which provides people who came to the United States at a very young age with a path to legal status, but not citizenship. He did not offer alternatives to the administration's policy during his appearance Sunday.

They believe in making policy on an etch-a-sketch but forget that someone took a picture of their etch-a-sketch before they shook it.

Mr. Rubio, there's nothing new in the world to stop you from getting your bill passed today than there was before President Obama did what he did.
