Barack Obama is crafting the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill, Rubio aide claims there are too many worthless American workers

    While we have been told that the immigration reform bill being crafted by the “Gang of Eight” is a bipartisan effort we are now learning it is anything but. Barack Obama is crafting the immigration bill with the help of four Republican dupes who should know better by this point in time. Nothing is being inserted into this bill which Barack Obama does not approve of:

“‘No decisions are being made without talking to us about it,’ the official said of the Gang of Eight negotiations … ‘This does not fly if we’re not O.K. with it,’” a senior Obama official told author Ryan Lizza for the pending article.

  The article linked to above also goes on to claim that Barack Obama is purposely keeping a low profile on this so that the rest of the GOP will not realize how much influence he has had in crafting this legislation.

  Meanwhile Republicans such as Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio are playing right into the president’s hand. Lindsey Graham claimed that if the Republicans block immigration reform they will be “in a demographic death spiral” and will  lose the presidency in 2016, proving once and for all something that I have been saying for awhile now: The Republicans are only interested in doing what they think is best for the party and not what is best for the country.

    John over at Sentry Journal did a brilliant job debunking the narrative that the Republicans cannot win if they do not pass immigration reform in this article. The Latino vote accounted for less than 10% of the vote in 2012, and as John points out the Republicans are in no danger of losing the Latino vote because they never had it in the first place. You cannot lose something that you never had.

  Are we to believe that if Barack Obama makes good on his promise to sign immigration reform that the Republicans will somehow get the credit instead of Barack Obama and win over the Latino vote? That is what Lindsey Graham would have us believe. I believe the Republicans will lose more votes than they will gain if they vote for this bill and I think the Republicans should have learned this lesson when conservatives decided to stay home instead of voting for faux Republican Mitt Romney.

  And then there is the following statement made by a Marco Rubio aide:

“There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it,” a Rubio aide told Lizza. ‘“There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly,” said the aide.

  President Bush, when pushing for immigration reform, used to be fond of saying that these immigrants are only going to do the jobs that American citizens will not do. That is a statement that always bothered the hell out of me because I believe that when push comes to shove there is no job an American will not do when it come to taking care of his or her family. I found that comment to be very insulting to the American people and now we have an aide to Marco Rubio echoing the same sentiment. I guess we now know how Marco Rubio feels about the American worker.

  People like Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio are being played for fools by Barack Obama and the Democrats, and to be honest it is not hard to do because that is exactly what they are. They are in the process of hammering in the death nail of the Republican party and they are too stupid to realize it.

  This is precisely why it is time for a new option, the Republicans and the Democrats do not care about anything other than scoring political points even at the expense of the American people, and that is why everyone should click on the link to the right and check out the New Federalist Party.
