An Open Letter to Marco Rubio

I have heard you say that illegal immigrants have de facto amnesty now and something should be done. I have also heard you defend your immigration bill by saying it is not amnesty because you make illegal immigrants jump through many hoops on the path to citizenship.
Let me tell you what Schumer, Menendez, and other Democrats you’re ganging up with are not telling you.
  • The illegal immigrants (illegals for short) already here will not bother jumping through the hoops you have set up for them if it is as hard as you say because, as you so often point out, they already have de facto amnesty. If this bill becomes law, it will only attract new low skilled workers to flood into America.
  • If the illegals already in the country do not apply for work permits and remain here illegally, they will not be deported. If we don’t deport them now because of all the bleeding heart liberal reasons the Democrats put forth, no one will have the guts to deport them in the future just because of a new law. The Dems know this, you are acting clueless.
  • Once illegals are working here legally, unions will swoop in and unionize them. Schumer knows they will all become reliable, dues-paying Democrats. He’s thinking ahead. You’re not.
  • All the tough border enforcement requirements and other measures you put in to make conservatives happy will simply be ignored and not executed by the President. He will enforce all the carrots and none of the sticks as he has already demonstrated in the past.
You are being taken advantage of like a little, naive, school boy. The fact that the likes of Schumer, Menendez, and I’ll throw in McCain, support this should tell you all you need to know.
Get out of this mess while you still can. You’re embarrassing yourself.
