Marco Rubio -- A "Traitor to Hispanics"

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you double standards.

Check out the language directed at Marco Rubio in this piece.  Rubio has taken a position in favor of patriotic immigration reform, meaning no amnesty and border security first before we move on to other issues.   

Jorge Mursuli, executive director of Democracia (a “Hispanic civic engagement group) stated of Marco Rubio, “There’s a Benedict Arnold feeling.”

Frank Sherry, director of America’s Voice (a pro-amnesty group) sneered, ““To be against comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship and against the DREAM Act defines you in the Latino immigrant community as a hard-liner and an enemy of the community.”

Gary Pacheco, an illegal immigrant (who nontheless can be a “DREAM Act Activist” and speak to an important website without fear of consequences for breaking the law), moaned “We thought Marco Rubio would also have taken this stance [for amnesty] because he knows the community. He comes from a place in Florida where this is a real issue.”

In contrast, Senator Jeff Sessions said, “For people to fundamentally expect somebody, because of their ethnic background, to act one way or the other, is wrong.  Each of us should try to serve the national interest, and I believe few people here seek to do that more than Marco Rubio.”

Of course, in the post-America of today, Rubio’s experience shows that the way to be treated as a traitor is to act like a patriot and put America First.
