[CNSNEWS] Sen. Marco Rubio (R.-Fla.), one of eight senators who have crafted legislation that would put illegal aliens on a path to U.S. citizenship, explained in a Senate floor speech yesterday that one of the reasons he wants to do this is that he believes illegal aliens are currently driving on U.S. roads without drivers licenses and auto insurance and his bill would encourage them to get licenses and buy insurance. It would actually be pretty simple to just recognize Mexican drivers licenses and vehicle registration, as we do Canadian. Better would be to use the international driver's license, that requires you have a valid license from your home country. The insurance requirement is enforced for both citizens and non-citizens.
Rubio explained that under his bill ilegal aliens who "have committed serious crimes" will be deported. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... the proposal will apparently not deem as a serious crime the habit of routinely driving without a driver's license. It's kinda forced on them, isn't it?
"We have people in this country who are having children who are U.S. citizens and they go to our schools; they are driving on our streets without a driver's license, which means they have no car insurance, which means all of us have to pay more in car insurance as a result," said Rubio. "This is obviously not good for them, but it is not good for us." My grandparents got here in 1919. My grandfather was naturalized in 1953. Back then, in the Lower Paleolithic, it didn't present a problem.
Rubio said that the first reason he wants to legalize illegal aliens is "because it is in the best interest of our country." Sounds a lot like "Change," which is "Good" regardless of what it involves.
"If there are people in this country illegally who entered here before December 2011, they have to present themselves," Rubio said on the Senate floor. "They will undergo a background check. If they have committed serious crimes in the U.S., they will be de- ported. If they have not, they will have to pay an application fee, a fine." My daughter-in-law, a Canadian citizen, has to jump through hoops and stand on her hands and spit quarters as part of the naturalization process. Wouldn't it be simpler for Mexicans (and Salvadorans, Cameroonians, and Antarcticans) to remain their respective nationalities and have their interests looked after by their respective consulates, which would be established in major cities? Simply being born in this country shouldn't be a grounds for automatic citizenship, though I could agree that being born here plus something else--being married to a citizen, serving in the military, etc.--should be. But what the hell do I know? I'm just an old crank.

Rubio Reason for Legalizing Illegals: 'They Are Driving on Our Streets Without a Driver's License'
Just tell them to go to New Mexico. For another legislative year, Senator Sanchez (D-Belen) has killed the attempt to repeal former governor Bill Richardson (D-NM) gift of authorizing drivers licenses to the illegals even though it stands in violation of the Real ID Act. Someone in the administration has been granting exemptions for this violation for a couple of years now.
On Thursday, just hours after the FBI released blurry pictures of the two suspected Boston Marathon bombers, CNN anchor Erin Burnett assumed the suspects were "stereotypically" white Americans and not linked to any foreign terror group.
It turned out that the suspects--Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev--are technically "white" as they are ethnically Chechen (although Dzhokhar recently became a citizen). But what Burnett, like many in the mainstream media who instinctively assume such acts are committed by those who look like Timothy McVeigh, was implying was that the suspects in the photos were white Americans who were born in this country.
"They are young. They're white. They're very confident. They kind of look like college kids," Burnett said on the Thursday evening edition of her low-rated primetime show, "Outfront."
Later in the show, when Rep. Mike McCaul (R-TX) mentioned that he knew the, "Justice Department has requested the assistance of foreign countries in terms of foreign travel" about the suspects, Burnett seemed shocked.
"On foreign travel?" she incredulously asked.
McCaul said there, "may be some sort of foreign connection here."
"Wait," Burnett interrupted. "Let me make sure I understand. Sorry, I want to make you understand. So they're still looking into the possibility that even though these two kids look very, very stereotypically like they're from here that this may be linked to a foreign terror group?"
McCaul then reiterated that it was "unclear and the nationalities are very unclear from the images that you see."
"This particular device is very common in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I will say that the al Qaeda playbook is usually to hit sporting events. You read this all the time, sporting events, mass casualties," McCaul said.
Based on some of the initial evidence, it seems as if Tamerlan, the older brother, may well have been radicalized by Islamic radicals that may be linked to Al-Qaeda.

"may well have been radicalized by Islamic radicals"
No one can be "radicalized" unless they cooperate. He wanted to be, so he sought it out.
CNN and the other "media" are all America-hating, f'ing morons. You don't like America, go live somewhere else. Try Egypt, particularly if you're female. I hear they love Western females there ....

Right on Barbara.
Sorry AP but this type is cluebat proof UNLESS it happens to them and theirs directly, but even that might not be enough. They come pre-wired for Stockholm syndrome.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
