Hey trufth,

Thanks for the article. But, you have been giving the same message; the org or news source could have asked you to write the same piece. Plus, Numbers USA will oppose it anyway. Doesn't Numbers USA essentially want to stop all legal and illegal immigration? That's an ultra-ultra right org. However, not all members of Numbers USA oppose Rubio's idea. Notice:

"Of the members of the House Immigration Subcommittee I contacted, only Dennis Ross (R., Fla.) got back to me with a positive comment: 'As a 5-of-5 NumbersUSA Member of the House, I am unashamed to say there is a lot to like about his proposal.'"

Plus, there is this: For now, congressional Republicans have remained largely silent. Representative Steve King (R., Iowa), one of the most influential Republicans on immigration, said in a statement: “Senator Rubio contributes significantly to the national debate through his honest involvement in the public dialogue, and I’m happy to work with him on any subject — but I cannot comment on any bill until I see it in its final form.” Neutrality is evident here but neutrality now is better than a fuck you, which would happen had it been a proposal from Dems.

I still say that we should wait to see how things play. But, as always, be prepared.
