Palin Rips Rubio on Immigration Reform

June 24, 2013 at 10:57 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Sarah Palin ripped into Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and his immigration reform proposal, the Sunshine State News reports.

Said Palin: “Just like they did with Obamacare, some in Congress intend to ‘Pelosi’ the amnesty bill. They’ll pass it in order to find out what’s in it. And just like the unpopular, unaffordable Obamacare disaster, this pandering, rewarding-the-rule-breakers, still-no-border-security, special-interests-ridden, 24-pound disaster of a bill is not supported by informed Americans.”

“Palin promised to make immigration a major issue in the 2014 election cycle, comparing it to 2010 when the tea party movement helped propel Republican gains as Americans rallied against President Barack Obama’s federal health-care law.”
