GOP’s Rubio spurns own immigration bill

Well Duh, sounds like business as usual coming from the kid from Florida.
Florida, the same place where he shunned women and their rights under the ERA among many other things.
Mr. pocketbook because he changes his mind as often as one changes change?
GOP Sen. Marco Rubio did something remarkable for a freshman senator:
He was instrumental in the politically tricky passage of a comprehensive immigration bill, the kind of legislation the Republicans need to reverse their rapidly sinking standing among the fast-growing and increasingly influential Hispanic voting bloc.

BULL !
The Democratic immigration bill he made believe that he was the sole designer of was a by partisan sponsored bill.
He was only one with many Senate Democrats sponsoring the bill.
This week, Rubio walked away from his immigration bill, his signal legislative achievement. He now favors the House leadership’s strategy of dealing with immigration one piece at a time, although, as The Wall Street Journal points out, the GOP leaders “have yet to bring any bills to the floor and haven’t laid out a timetable for doing so.”
It probably didn’t help Rubio, who is said to harbor presidential hopes, that he disavowed his own legislation just as 400-plus conservative leaders from business, religious and law enforcement groups arrived in the capital to lobby for its passage.
If by some miracle comprehensive immigration reform passes this year or next, it likely will be no thanks to Rubio. He’ll then regret his decision to pass up that rare opportunity for a freshman lawmaker to make a difference on a critical piece of legislation.

Remember it is a Senate bill and the senate is controlled by Democrats that passed the bill?
