QOTD: "During Saturday night’s ABC Republican Presidential debate, donor-class favorite Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) accused Barack Obama of trying to fundamentally transform the country. However, Rubio did not mention that he himself had co-authored the border-opening Gang of Eight immigration bill, which President Obama endorsed...

...Rubio was the salesman of the Obama-endorsed immigration plan. As Phyllis Schlafly explained in her 15-page memo documenting Rubio’s record on immigration, “The White House was running the show” during the Rubio-Schumer Gang of Eight push. As the New York Times noted at the time, the White House set up an “immigration war room” in the Senate as part of a “stealthy legislative operation run by President Obama’s staff. Their goal is to quietly secure passage of the first immigration overhaul in a quarter century.”

Rubio’s 2013 Obama-backed immigration bill would have tripled green card issuances, doubled foreign worker visas, and would have given citizenship — and, thereby, welfare access and voting privileges — to the illegal population. It also would have substantially expanded fiancé visas and refugee resettlement." --Julia Hahn
