Ann Coulter: Marco Rubio 'Lying' About Immigration 'Like Democrats'

-Marco-Rubio-lying-about-immigration-like-Democrats-do

excerpt:
Coulter quoted Rubio from Fox News Sunday, explaining his border security enforcement mechanism – something she described as a “merely meaningless goal.”

"Basically, Homeland Security will have five years to meet that goal,” Rubio said on Fox. “If after five years, Homeland Security has not met that number, it will trigger the Border Commission, who will then take over this issue for them.”

Was listening to Rush interview Rubio this afternoon about immigration.Only listenened for about 10 minutes as I was busy with other things.

Rush asked Rubio about border enforcement in the bill being enforced before other things kicking in. I could not beleive what Rubio said. Rubio said the immigration bill gives border security ten years to figure out how to enforce border security aftet the bill is passed.

TEN YEARS!!!! It takes ten years to figure out border security? If this country has not figured out how to enforce border security in over 200 years we have a bunch of dumb asses running this government.

excerpt:

Let us say right up front that we realize this case will be used by those on both

sides of the abortion debate. We ourselves cover a spectrum of personal beliefs about the

morality of abortion. For us as a criminal grand jury, however, the case is not about that

controversy; it is about disregard of the law and disdain for the lives and health of

mothers and infants. We find common ground in exposing what happened here, and in

recommending measures to prevent anything like this from ever happening again.
