Debate Moderator Accuses Latino Rubio Of Being Anti-Latino--Rubio Responds

[utubecenseorstruth]

How is supporting the laws and tradition of the USA make him anti-latino? Should the question be are latinos who think illegals do nothing wrong anti-american?

[thomasward00]

My grandmother came from Cuba when she was a teenager, all Republican are for LEGAL immigration, the Democrats want to stand at the border, hand out Welfare checks and food stamps for votes...

There is a big difference

[utubecenseorstruth]

@thomasward00 Damn mad it is so good to see hispanics say that. Too many people are making the illegl immigration debate about anti-latino.

[BigMoInAZ]

I concur with Mr. Rubio and I too come from an Hispanic/Latino background! As a 4th generation Chicano I want nothing more than to see illegal immigration enforced and those like my forefathers who wanted citizenship followed the rules and became Americans legally! They were migrant workers and farmers and made all our lives fruitful and meaningful! Those who chose to break the laws and come into this country illegally deserve no considerations, no rights, and should leave NOW! Hooah!

[elcocotobar2000]

Like most Cuban Said : Close & lock the door...I'm already in

[latinasdoitbetter1]

@elcocotobar2000 nah. he was just saying he opposes illegal immigration

[namenderkrieg]

Ew, why is Obama being portrayed as a populist demagogue? Isn't that a little bit exaggerated? I mean, just a little bit?

Anyway, why would some consider Rubio to be anti-Hispanic? Just because he's a Republican? Hmm, that sounds like a simplistic, intellectually lazy accusation.

[medlock01]

So in bolgers mind, the money belongs to the government.

We just "borrow it" after we go work and earn it.

If we are lucky they will let us keep some of it.

Wow you are a sheep aren't you? How pathetic.

[medlock01]

No sir "bolger", Spending is done YEAR TO YEAR. Adjusted on a baseline budget which must be approved each time. Thats why the government 'shut down' in 1994.

We don't "Spend money" on tax cuts. The money belongs to the people who earned it. The feds certainly don't spend it better, like the failed 887 billion dollar "stimulus" which was just a political payoff.

Glad we slapped that one on our kids huh? What republicans were part of that one?

PS. Bush was a moderate, not a conservative.

[Bolgernow]

@medlock01 then how did the Bush Tax cuts, carried year to year, start in 2001, & are set to EXPIRE IN 2011? You don't understand the CBO or basics in congressional policy making or budgeting...

[medlock01]

@Bolgernow

You obviously are confusing tax revenues with spending. The two are only related in that they both appear on CBO reports.

Unlike every single business and household in the world, Congress spends all it wants (and then some) then much later looks at what was taken in.

In fact, Congress spends all the tax money for the NEXT year. The Federal reserve bank *lends* the money until it can be repaid. The deficit is how much was not paid back.

Thanks for playing.

[Bolgernow]

@medlock01 incorrect, when one has a budget, taxes COLLECTED go TOWARDS that budget year. If certain Taxes, say the top 3% are NOT collected, & were GIVEN as a CUT, the line item for that BUDGET is now an EXPENSE. You didn't PAY FOR THOSE CUTS. If you did, the amount "to be collected" would be there. It wasn't, & still isn't. Please go to any accounting 101 or budgeting class. They can help you understand...

[North2016]

Thumbs up if you think @Bolgernow is a mainstream media whore

[Bolgernow]

@North2016 insults with no merit. I've come to expect such weak sauce from you Tea Trolls...

[North2016]

@Bolgernow I find it funny that you log on to other peoples pages to give your comments more thumbs up...

what a loser...did you read off a teleprompter like Obama does ALL THE TIME? lmao

[Bolgernow]

@North2016 I'm sorry? Ohhhhhh it's just baseless Obama bashing & insults or attacks that has nothing to do with reality. So the usual BS from you. Enjoy your tiny world filled with ignorance & hate...

[Monique90210]

Good answer

[PatricksTime]

we gonna neuter obama next month!!!

[bench550]

The gall of Rubio to want a legal path into this Country. I am now voting Democrat.

[RuflessRecords]

Liberal piece of trash trying to equate being anti illegal immigrant with being against all Hispanics.

Mexicans, you heard it here from your far left friends: all Latinos are criminals and support law-breaking. Ask a liberal and he'll back this logic up.

[mendelbot]

Bookmarked as a shining example of what "classy" means in the face of a partisan hack masquerading as an objective observer.

[Panchee123]

oppose a pathway to citizenship........what a crock of shit this moderator is

[dlsofsetx]

Most Hispanics in California & Colorado voted for English Language Amendments in their states.Most Hispanics also oppose illegal immigration.Rubio let that moderator have it good.

[Juanchopepe86]

I have seen Obama having more support toward hispanics than this guy.

[Skrunkcat]

who is the biased moderator? where is his soapbox?

[tabrettologist]

I love this guy. (rubio). Make him Pres in 2012.

[Bolgernow]

Unfortunately in politics today your specific POLICY positions count Mr. Rubio. When you support the unconstitutional acts of Jan Brewer's insane immigration law you can PRETEND you're on the right side. You are not. Look up the 2nd amendment, you will find that the Federal Government handles ALL immigration enforcement. You Tea Party liars don't even KNOW WHAT'S IN THE CONSTITUTION, but scream you're going to enforce it. INSANE

[Bolgernow]

@Bolgernow Rubio should also see the 14th amendment which specifically states the Federal Government handles all immigration enforcement. The 2nd amendment ensures States can protect themselves by being armed so the argument of "Well the Federal government isn't doing their job" is covered under the 2nd amendment. These people need a serious education on the Constitution before they wave it around screaming "Read it cause I'm going to enforce it!". Learn it 1st!

[North2016]

@Bolgernow Nicky Diaz is an illegal immigrant!

[DOHC2L]

@Bolgernow So you believe the federal government doesn't have to secure the border because people can protect themselves with guns? Sir, you need to learn the constitution, and understand the constitution by its intent not by interpretation. Because you just interpreted the constitution unconstitutionally. The 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, it's not a prescription for gun violence. If the federal government doesn't enforce federal laws the states should, not vigilantes!

[Bolgernow]

@DOHC2L you posed an irrational negative asking me to disprove it. Never said anything like it. AGAIN, since you can't read, the 14th amendment states the Federal Government is SOLELY responsible for Immigration enforcement & naturalization issues, NOT THE STATES. If you don't like that, argue with the 14th amendment, not me. The 2nd is the right to protect YOUR OWN STATE if need be. Take your own advice, & read the fucking Constitution & bill of rights

[DOHC2L]

@Bolgernow You are not the sole interpreter to the Constitution, that's why you're irrational.

[Bolgernow]

@DOHC2L thank you for proving to everyone here you don't understand the US Constitution...

[Ovedya2006]

@Bolgernow

The 14th Amendment does not "specifically state the Federal Government handles all immigration enforcement. " Not even remotely. Have YOU read it???

[Bolgernow]

@Ovedya2006 14th amendment, Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. Look up the Dread Scott case. You don't know what you're talking about

[Ovedya2006]

@Bolgernow

Dred (not "Dread") Scott? Are you stoned? That was a case regarding the civil rights of an AMERICAN CITIZEN. It had absolutely nothing to do with illegal immigration. Furthermore, the 14th Amendment, as you quoted it, deals with the rights of "CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES." Illegal immigrants ARE NOT CITIZENS, and therefore are not conferred the rights of natural born or naturalized citizens. Read a freaking book for goodness' sake.

[Ovedya2006]

@Bolgernow

Oh that's right. You're that dried up pathetic no-talent comedian from Chicago. I remember you now.

[Bolgernow]

@Ovedya2006 see, when you can't lie, insult, attack, deflect, throw in red herrings having nothing to do with specific facts stated, or scream "But Obama is a baby eating old person rapist commie" you have NO argument. Thanks for proving that...

[Ovedya2006]

@Bolgernow

I was just stating my opinion. Odd that you think that's wrong. You mean you're NOT that dried up pathetic no-talent comedian from Chicago?

[Bolgernow]

@Ovedya2006 your opinion is baseless insults without merit. Interesting you offer nothing constructive. Mostly because you can't

[tabrettologist]

@Bolgernow, go chew your crayons. The grown ups are talking now.

[Bolgernow]

@tabrettologist insults with no facts. I believe what you're doing is called projection. It is where you accuse me what you're actually doing. Sad. I noticed you can't address the basic constitutional facts I listed above that are at odds with Rubio's policy positions. Just insults. That speaks volumes...

[medlock01]

@tabrettologist

The same "grown ups" who took control of Congress in 2006 and wrecked the economy and should be impeached for not full-filling their JOB to enforce immigration laws.

Keep harping, we have had a taste of your nutjob lunacy and its ending in November.

[Bolgernow]

@medlock01 that's factually incorrect & a lie. You're blaming the Democrats for spending policy that was in place LONG before they got into power in the end of January 2007. The Democrats didn't spend 6.7 trillion on tax cuts for the top 3% wage earners. They didn't start TWO wars costing us trillions each year. Those my friend were all Republicans. People exactly like Mr. Rubio only more moderate. Rubio is WAY farther right. He'd call Reagan a Socialist for his immigration views

[mendelbot]

@tabrettologist I remember kids in grade two making comments like that. Cute, probably imitating their intellectually sloppy parents in their condescending slighting of the genius of childhood. So... can I, uh, borrow your crayons?

[Bolgernow]

Do any of you Tea Bagging trolls have anything to run on except insults, "Obama is evil", or lies? Any policy of actual thought? No, then sit down, STFU, & let real people who deal with real problems run things until we get back on track. Your views got us here. Your "views" won't get us out. Get it?

[North2016]

@Bolgernow REALLY? It's funny how you call the Tea Party liars, when in fact the Obama administration was against S.B 1070 & wanted Federal intervention, yet the other week I saw Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano (whom was also governor of Arizona) on Bill O'Reilly's show and said that the issue with Nicky Diaz a friend of Meg Whitman (who is running for governor of California) say that she did not know what to do, & said it was up to California to decide!

Hypocrisy at its best!!!

[Bolgernow]

@North2016 you make no sense. It's not a political "sides" thing. It's constitutional reality. The 14th amendment states the Federal Government handles ALL immigration enforcement & naturalization issues. If Arizona's claim is "The Fed isn't doing their jobs" the 2nd amendment is in place for them to arm themselves if they don't like it. These moron Tea Party folks don't even know their amendments they claim to understand

[North2016]

@Bolgernow Yet, the 10th Amendment also gives State rights, & the Obama administration is so hypocritical over the issue on Immigration! The States have rights under the 10th amendment, & its a shame really that the Federal govt has down absolutely nothing to stop illegal immigration

Watch the interview with Napolitano, it is outrageous how hypocritical the administration is over illegal immigration (Oh we are against S.B.1070 in AZ, yet I think it is up to California to decide on Diaz lol)

[Bolgernow]

@North2016 Obama has nothing to do with this. It's a constitutional issue. You can't read words in my post? Why are you making an easy factual constitutional issue partisan? The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HANDLES IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT, PERIOD. The 10th states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people". Immigration was DELEGATED. You don't know basic facts dude

[North2016]

@Bolgernow Of course he does! He is the President of the United States, the states have rights! And as long as the Federal govt. continues to do NOTHING & be a hypocritical administration, one that you support & its Dept. of Homeland Security which has done nothing to enforce it!

Watch the video for yourself, be an Obama crony & watch the hypocritical Janet Napolitano state that now she thinks it should be a "state" issue for that specific case!

[Bolgernow]

@North2016 troll elsewhere. It's a basic constitutional issue of facts. Has nothing to do with Obama. Call me names because you have no rational argument, or drag partisan politics into places they don't belong. Not feeding you anymore...

[North2016]

@Bolgernow Hey Obama crony! Take your Hope & Change that you voted for & vote for the other crony Meek! This isn't a hearing for a Supreme Court Justice, its for Senator of the state of Florida...

File a lawsuit, &take it to the Supreme Court not the Internet..

[Bolgernow]

@North2016 insults, cute. No rational argument Constitutionally. You hate Obama check. That's all you are with zero facts to support your insane claims...

[mendelbot]

@Bolgernow I think as a strategy of systematically abandoning the responsibility for immigration control, of irresponsible smearing of regions and nations together, really sets up the region for a whole gamut of problems. Hard working taxpayers treated as well (and since they need less government support, worse than) people without the respect for the law.

So when the government abdicates it's responsibility, it has invited a challenge to it's authority.

[Bolgernow]

@mendelbot you said "I think". Post proof or retract. You're a Tea Party spam troll. Funny I don't remember Bush doing a THING on immigration, yet you & your ilk were happy as hogs in shit. It's called a double standard. It's what your entire party stands for: Hypocrisy

[mendelbot]

@Bolgernow You're such a partisan you just don't even consider the possibility that I don't have a dog in this race. I just don't think that kowtowing to illegal immigrants is really respectful to people who have come into the front door.

As for a retraction, I am surprised you are unaware that the evil araizona law is simply identical to a federal law which the obama admin has chosen not to enforce.

[Ovedya2006]

@Bolgernow

Ah...the 2ND Amendment grants the Federal government supreme authority over immigration enforcement? And you tell others to learn the Constitution? What a joke!

You need to read AZ brief in response to the Fed's court filing. It outlines very specific rules, authority given to state and local policing agencies to do EXACTLY what the Arizona law authorized state and local law enforcement to do! Arizona is in compliance with the law!

[North2016]

Rubio, yet again another Mel Martinez if you are going to vote for Rubio it is another vote for Martinez!

[loonmaniac]

I like them French fried potaters.

[medlock01]

Speak English or get out.

If English is no better than Spanish, then learn it!

[MatsPT]

Marco Rubio totally DESTROYED the liberal "moderator". No wonder he will win with a landslide, God willing.

[Africanus1]

He hit this out of the ballpark and past the parking lot! If these illegal immigrants were most likely to vote Republican when made legal, the Democrats would be shipping them out faster than you could say taco viva! They don't care about Latinos, only the votes that give them power.

[jstan4421]

love rubio---hate obama and obamacare--already mass. which already has universal health care has to increase costs 47%!!! you don't think that will happen with this monstrosity??? don't be fooled

[specialks1953]

I like that he comes across to me that he speaks without having to think about how he can Dance around the Answer. NO STUTTER !! He answered with conviction. He seems to take charge and says, THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE, THIS IS WHAT I WILL WORK FOR, THIS IS REAL TO ME, THIS IS WHAT I REPRESENT, THIS IS WHO I AM. I AM AN AMERICAN THAT BELIEVES IN ENFORCING OUR LAWS FIRST AN FOREMOST. I WILL FIGHT TO MAKE MY STATE AND AMERICA STRONG !!!!!!!! I WILL DO WHAT THE MAJORITY OF FLORIDIANS WANT DONE !!!!!

[specialks1953]

I hope he WINS and I hope he honors what he says he will fight for. He can not do it alone !!!!!!!!! He has to have the support of his Constituants and If he votes correct but others out vote him then he did what he promised. We need to hang together behind politician that do the right thing. When they stray, They need to GO !!!!!! If I could vote there, HE would get my vote because he claims to support my views better than his opponents. They are libs and socialist destroying our country !!!

[Cubroncs03]

@specialks1953 You're not very smart, are you?

[specialks1953]

@Cubroncs03 How would you know? You would have to be smart enough to recognize what smart is. I think that is more than you are capable of handling.

PS: fuck you, punk

The End !

[kittenagogo28]

See what idiots you leftists look like when you ask a dumbass question? Good god why didn't he just call him a coconut and be done with it? Or he could have asked "why can't you Cubans be good little Latino Democrats like the rest of them?" What a beautiful response by Rubio. So easy to make an (obvious) lib look like a moron. What a disgrace this "moderator" is.

[Cubroncs03]

@kittenagogo28 Are you serious? How is he an obvious liberal? Just shut the fuck up.

[BlackRepublican2010]

Anti, Bigot, Homophobe, Ignorant, racist, uninformed=anyone winning an argument with a liberal

Marco Rubio's answer was exemplary of class, unlike the partisan moderator. RUBIO 2012!

[welovesarahpalin]

The Left is so desperate that they will now say ANYTHING to besmirch anyone with an "R" after their name. It's truly pathetic.

But the American people are not fools. Look for the largest repudiation of a political party's agenda (the Democrats) in American History on Nov 2, 2010.

[thunderflash82]

So the only Latino in the race for Florida senate is "anti-Latino"? Does that even make any sense.

[bw01a]

I have already sent Marco Rubio some campaign cash. It's not much, but I am just an average American and not George Soros. Rubio is presidential material all the way.

[jcruenv]

wow. no bias from the talking head. nuh uh.....

[BrainDeadRepublican]

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

--- Theodore Roosevelt... 1907

[ToddonCapeCod]

Gee, its nice to see this moderator didn't have an agenda against Rubio

[kalima275]

@ToddonCapeCod Seriously...the media is ridiculous.

[bozher]

I wish this guy was running in my state so I could vote for him. I can however send him money, and so can all of you who support what he just said. And by the way, the moderator should get his dick out of the mashed potatoes.

[DONGOE]

I would vote for Marco Rubio !

[revelationparadigm]

So being “anti-Latino” means not allowing anybody to just run across our southern border, illegally entering the USA? What a pathetic, absurd, moronic, retarded, idiotic…basically a democrat liberal left wing platform statement posing as a “gotcha” question for Rubio here.

[Hourman910]

Don't remind me. When they had the VP debate in 2008, the moderator was a woman who was writing a book on how great Obama was. Nope, no conflict interest there.

[jbjumpback]

The moderator said TeaParty as tho it's a dirty word.

Mr. moderator ....get used to it !

[seanarther]

Who is this "moderator"? He grandstands as a histrionic, open-borders shill and Rubio responds with intelligence and class. I'm so glad that the masks have finally fallen off and Americans are waking up to the leftist, anti-American enemies in our midst. As long as principled conservatives like Rubio continue to fearlessly take on the smear-merchants, they cannot win the intellectual argument.

[BATluvs3]

Get used to saying "SENATOR RUBIO"!!

[Tobias2012]

That moderator is a lefty who just had his ass handed to him by Rubio. And WTH immigrants need to learn the native language.... and the moderator seems to think this is extreme?!

[EncompassedRunner]

Thank you for this video, b/c I'm a hispanic Floridian who was still undecided about this senate race, and I'm thrilled to hear about Rubio's stance against enforcing immigration laws. (I had been for Rubio before then had doubts, but this has made me decide to support Rubio again -- think I'll go early vote.)

[joshpnw]

How the fuck did they get that partisan ass hat to moderate a debate?

Rubio handled himself very professionally in spite of that attack.

[gekkobear]

Let me see if I get this.

Being anti-illegal and pro-English language is racist; because it's anti-Latino, because ALL Latinos are non-English speaking illegals who hopped the border... and not thinking all Latinos are exactly the same is racist.

I have got to get me a new dictionary. Now if I DON'T think all people of the same ethnicity are exactly the same I'm a bigoted racist? Damn things have changed a lot since I was a kid.

[Eterna1Soldier]

Who is this stupid idiot and who decided he would be a good moderator?

This idiot epitomizes the stupidity and bigotry of the left.

[TheLastBrainLeft]

America's first Latino president. Bank on it.

[flowerpower6161]

Is the moderator saying that to be pro latino means you have to be pro breaking the law?

[incognito9887]

How are those issues anti-Latino?

Those positions are only anti-illegal immigration and pro-American English.

If voting Hispanic Americans are pro-illegal immigration and against speaking our recognized de facto language -- that's their problem.

[deckertone]

@incognito9887 They aren't anti-latino.  The vile left is trying to smear anyone who disagrees w/ them! Won't work!!! Nov 2!! Be there!
