Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: Border Commission: Rubio Fooled (Rush) Limbaugh By Lying About Mandate Working my way through the intimidating backlog of One Old Vets Amnesty news compendiums accumulated since I last wrote on them, I find in Fridays 57-strong collection the transcript of Rush Limbaughs interview with Marco Rubio EIB Interview: Why, Senator Rubio? April 18, 2013 rushlimbaugh.com In this Limbaugh, who really understands the immigration issue, asked an extremely penetrating question: Which is true? (The bill had actually been made public at 2-25AM (!) that morning) Rubio dealt with this awkward query by lying: (VDARE.com emphasis). As I noted yesterday in "Gang Bill Omits Empowered Border Commission Rubio Promised - Will He Denounce?" Byron York has demonstrated that this is just not true. The Commission on which the Border Governors will only be a minority if they are on it at all is not structured to assume legal power over anything, ever. Of course, it is logically possible that Rubio does not really know what is in the Bill, having been once again outwitted by cleverer men. That is no less disgraceful than lying. But in fact the evidence is that Rubio is using his media popularity to mislead the public. In One Old Vets 48-strong Thursday Amnesty news collection I find Marco Rubios completely worthless border security triggers by Con Carroll washingtonexaminer.com April 17, 2013. This excellent piece of journalism notes and then demolishes them: 1. The DHS border security plan is just a plan. No plan has ever stopped anyone from crossing a border. 2. The DHS border fence plan is just a plan. No plan has ever stopped anyone from crossing a border. 3. Will DHS use their old system of tracking apprehensions, which shows they capture about 65 percent of border-crossers? Or will they use new drone data showing they catch less than half of border-crossers? The bill doesnt say. But it doesnt matter because see number four. 4. If DHS fails to catch 90 percent of border-crossers, all that happens is the creation of a Border Commission that must produce a report. Thats it. A report. No report has ever stopped anyone from crossing a border. 5. There are zero metrics in the bill to determine if the E-Verify system has been adequately implemented. And even if there were, there is no citizen suit provision empowering citizens to stop the secretary of homeland security from declaring the E-Verify system implemented and granting provisional residents permanent legal status. 6. There are zero metrics in the bill to determine if the visa-exit system has been adequately implemented. And even if there were, there is no citizen suit provision empowering citizens to stop the secretary of homeland security from declaring the visa-exit system implemented and granting provisional residents permanent legal status. Rubios contentions are simply fraudulent. Limbaughs transcript headline derives from his question: Why? What is it about right now that says, forget everything else fails I've asked you, forget the political ramifications I've asked you about. Why does it need to be fixed right now? All Rubio could say was that the situation now was "de facto Amnesty" (a silly talking point refuted here, and anyway due only to GOPs failure to challenge Obamas law-flouting use of Administrative Amnesty) and that it would be nice if the illegals could vote. Nice for whom? My caption photograph is not meant as a joke: perhaps having helped ruin the GOPs prospects Rubio is planning to switch parties (like Arlen Specter or, ironically, Charlie Crist) and mutate into the leader of the Unobnoxious Hispanic faction of the Democratic Party The sooner the better.
