Is Rubio Trapped on Immigration Reform?

Article Photoyou know when you open your mouth too many timeas on so many subjects you tend to leave openings to whether or not you are being truthful or whether you are bloviating  and exaggerating your lies in this case i thinkng he is the latter.
Finally, committee action is set to start today in the Senate on the immigration bill. The dead-enders on the right are gearing up. Utah’s Mike Lee, for example, is evidently introducing amendments that say in essence, “strike everything after the words ‘an act.’” Less extreme colleagues are still trying to push the bill rightward in various ways. This puts Marco Rubio in a spot. He needs to placate these forces if he’s going to have a shot at the GOP nomination in 2016. 
But somewhere on that continuum, there’s a tipping point, at which he loses the trust of the Democrats he’s spent months negotiating with, and the bill itself perhaps loses some Democratic support. The sweet spot is awfully small, and if he doesn’t find it, his 2016 hopes, and maybe even the bill, are in agua caliente.
if the right wing electorate is like their politicians and are not about to change any of "THEIR VALUES" then we can expect them to embrace a shifty candidate like Rubio.  
how can you appease the right wing bigoted and racist party and claim fidelity with your race which your party has never and IMO never will embrace as equal Americans.
they fear that the loyalty is with the progressives and compromise in this situation installs a guarnteed lost, dispite the cheating, voter blocking, gerrymandering, voter purges, voter ID's they are dwindling in numbers and as bad as their math is they can make the calculation that their platform of hate is 2000 and late.
Here’s the situation. What the conservatives are hopping mad about—aside of course from the general idea that they have to do this in the first place, which in many ways is the inescapable problem—is something called the RPI provision. That’s “registered provisional immigrant” status. In the current language, if an undocumented immigrant was in the United States on December 31, 2011, that person can come forward and get a work authorization and permission to travel. Then they start the 10- or 13-year process of becoming a citizen.
But this is all contingent, to some extent, on the border being secure. In the first year of the law’s life, the secretary of Homeland Security has to put forward a plan to achieve 90 percent control of the border. Once the plan is submitted, processing of the people applying for RPI status can begin.
Well, you can see where this is going already, I’m sure. Conservatives don’t think much of all this. We’re going to let these hordes start applying for citizenship on the basis of a plan—a mere promise, made by a bunch of people (Democratic bureaucrats at Homeland Security) who we think don’t care about securing the border in the first place?
it is like i said they know they have and still do alienate the Hispanics, any bill that get's them to where they can vote is a doomsday clock ticking hence the regulations they want to impose on the immigrants are 13 years to citizenship and 50 years to pay fines.
does not sound like reaching out and touching someone to me, how about you?
