This Gang of 8 bill is like Wimpy in Popeye. We cannot support border security Tuesday, for amnesty today. pic.twitter.com/REUd4dfKq1

As I told you all last month in my multiple blog posts about Marco Rubio's lack of tweets about immigration -but about the Miami Heat- and the Miami Herald's self-evident and heavy-handed censorship for well over two weeks of all references, in-print and in their blogs, re Ryan Lizza's excellent New Yorker piece on the Schumer-Rubio bill, the Gang of Eight and Marco Rubio and his staff re the pro-amnesty bill that emerged.
And censorship of any articulate, fact-filled negative comments about the bill.
Nope, nothing about Florida's agribusiness industry hungering for more low-cost labor and how much they were spending to make it happen.
Los Angeles-based blogger Mickey Kaus, long one of my favorites since I was living and working in the D.C. area and he was at Slate, and now writing at The Daily Caller website, is one of the many people I shared this bits of news with around the country.
Some didn't know about it, some had heard but hadn't seen any actual evidence.
Then I dropped some fact-filled evidence on them via email.
Over the past few weeks, as only Mickey Kaus can so consistently, with insightful reporting and good humor, well-timed sarcasm and a knack for saying today what others will be saying tomorrow, via his very popular Twitter feed and blog, he has reminded us all again that, surprise, "Team Rubio really has gone silent on immigration"
.@MarcoRubio's *already* non-trivially damaged Gangof8 bill's prospects by acting like he's scared of it, no?

@RyanLizza That said I agree press gives v-poor picture of those in middle. Also no way of knowing what's for show and what's real.

@RyanLizza Seems 2 me pro-legalizers (Ryan/Labrador/DiazBalart) get quoted most, w/ King/Bachmann as crazies on other side. #biasexplainsall
