Rush Limbaughs argument to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) about why hes not inclined to support Rubios immigration reform bill was pretty straightforward: Latinos dont like Republicans and with their freeloading, big government ways, they never will. So why bring in more of them?
I must tell you, I just dont understand this, Senator, Limbaugh said in opening his interview with Rubio on his radio program Thursday. I dont understand why we are doing something that the Democrats are salivating over.
Limbaughs argument, common among reform opponents, was that Latino voters are sympathetic to a more active government in polling and therefore dont deserve the partys attention. He suggested trying to maximize the evangelical vote instead.
I know that you say the political aspects of this are not yours, but so many people are scared to death, Senator, that the Republican party is committing suicide, Limbaugh said. That were going to end up legalizing 9 million automatic Democrat voters and thats why the Democrats are so adamant.
Limbaugh also said: I see polling data again that suggests 70 percent of the Hispanic population worldwide or in the country believes that government is the primary source of prosperity. I dont, therefore, understand this contention that Hispanics are conservatives in waiting.

Interestingly, the proposal Rubio backs says you pay taxes but don't vote for at least 10 or 11 years. Don't the Teapers howl about 'no taxation without representation,' which they interpret to mean, a representative who thinks like they do on all things?

(24,391 posts)Plus all of the other onerous restrictions that the law would impose. It may well be the *best* that we can manage to get out our current joke of a Congress (esp. the Republican Tea Party Madhouse) at the moment but how much do they want these people to suffer before we give them a chance to normalize their status? Isn't in our best interests (in terms of safety and security) that we help work to bring these people "out of the shadows".
