U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer is asking the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue a health alert to medical professionals in New York and around the country for identifying, treating and containing Chikungunya, a mosquito-borne virus that causes fevers, joint and muscle pain, headaches, joint swelling and rashes.
We are not dealing with a delicate point of logic here, some tiny flaw in liberals' reasoning, where they neglect to consider this or that aspect of a situation. This is something I don't recall encountering before. It's anti-logic.
The Schumer-Rubio amnesty bill would have made this crisis 10,000 times worse than it already is.
The precise reason our borders are besieged is that the 11 million to 20 million "undocumented migrants" currently living here seem just a few more bad Marco Rubio speeches away from being legalized. And the reason they entered the country undocumentedly is that Reagan granted amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens in 1986.
Instead of "living in the shadows" -- the shadows of mass protests, New York Times magazine covers, TV shows, government housing, free schools, free medical care, free food stamps, the Catholic Church, state colleges at in-state tuition rates in 17 states -- "undocumented migrants" seem poised to become full legal residents. With that, they would gain the additional rights to more welfare programs, to vote for more welfare programs -- and to vote for more amnesty. (Also, they won't have to worry about being deported if they're convicted of rape or murder after they're amnestied.) Obama has already effectively granted amnesty to millions of "undocumented migrants" by refusing to deport "children," i.e., MS-13 members. (I'm starting to think somebody ought to sue that guy.) Consequently, a lot of Latin Americans decided it was a good time to come to the U.S. to get in on Obama's administrative amnesty and also to be here in time for the next amnesty.

Here's a failure in reasoning (from OP's source, my emphasis):

So are Marco Rubio the 'Tea Party Crown Prince' and GOP Saint Reagan liberals?

Then comes TP Republicans with an ...ahem...less than forgiving view...toward (what is perceived) as Latino's at large, and pointedly Illegal Immigrants.
The Latino vote slides to Democrats in 08 and 12.
In September 2005, Birmingham, Al talk show hosts Russ and Dee Fine led a large scale "Tea Party" protest against illegal immigration in Birmingham, AL.

Here is the issue. The Latino vote has traditionally been GOP. They were solid GOP voters for decades. Thus Pres. GWB and Reagan loving them and granting amnesty.
Then comes TP Republicans with an ...ahem...less than forgiving view...toward (what is perceived) as Latino's at large, and pointedly Illegal Immigrants.
The Latino vote slides to Democrats in 08 and 12.
So it becomes very difficult to slice out actually fair policy and law from GOP and Dems using it as a political pandering device. Latino's were once an advantage to the GOP and the GOP hopes to return to that and the Dems are currently enjoying the advantage with Latinos...neither side is seeing this absent political pandering, and that clouds it.
