re immigration reform: Is Marco Rubio becoming a dissembling, thin-skinned, over-exposed loser? Byron York observes the metamorphosis of Marco Rubio on immigration from border security stalwart to a flip-flopper who now wants amnesty first border security later, and who objects to being called a flip-flopper or #sellout. York puts it perfectly: Rubio: "We need to legalize immigrants so they can pay for border security"

Hmm-m... interesting. 

Out of curiosity I checked @marcorubio and he hasn't tweeted ANYTHING about immigration in well over a month. No tell-tale sign of his flip-flopping!

Immigration fight revolves around security question

By Byron York, Chief Political Correspondent

June 13, 2013  8:00 pm

There's a fundamental conflict at the heart of the Senate debate over the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform bill. Most Republicans believe a policy to integrate 11 million currently illegal immigrants into American society must be conditioned on stronger border security and internal enforcement. Most Democrats don't. At bottom, that's what the fight is about.

Most Republicans believe security must come before integration, in one of two ways. Some believe enhanced security must be in place -- not a plan, but a reality -- before the 11 million can be granted temporary legal status.

Rubio: We need to legalize immigrants so they can pay for border security

By Byron York, Chief Political Correspondent

Why is it necessary to legalize the roughly 11 million currently-illegal immigrants in the U.S. before newly enhanced border security and internal enforcement measures are in place? Sen. Marco Rubio, the leading Republican on the Senate’s Gang of Eight, says part of the reason is that the federal government can’t afford to secure the border on its own and needs financial help from the immigrants themselves, in the form of fines paid when they are legalized.

Rubio made the statement during a radio interview after he voted against an amendment from Republican Sen. Charles Grassley that would have put off legalization until after the border is secure — a position supported by majorities of voters across the political spectrum.

Try to remember... yes, I was alive when President Obama said what he really thought the first time around about sequestration.
He thought it was great and even threatened to veto, which really meant threatening to let loose his zealous followers on anyone who got in its way.

The vast majority of American families have been forced to do their own version of sequestration for many years and the country won't fall apart now.
I support it.

Besides, Obama was the author of this one, and Leon Panetta wrote the Pentagon's chapter, so let them take a bow.
They aren't cuts, they're cuts to rates of growth.

What we need locally is a sequester in Hallandale Beach to stop the tax dollars flowing out in a torrent with little tangible to show for it.
Well, that is, except for highly-paid city employees who aren't very concerned with the best interests of the taxpayers, residents and small business owners of this city.

Speaking of trying to remember... here's the versatile super-talent who starred as the first El Gallo in The Fantasticks, Jerry Orbach, with this clip of him singing the first song of the show, which premiered in May of 1960.
