'We don't trust Washington' on immigration, WH pulling Rubio's strings

Folks, this tells you all you need to know about the shady RINO dealings going on in Washington over immigration (and certainly more to come, I'm sure)...
NYTimes: The hide-out has no sign on the door, but inside Dirksen 201 is a spare suite of offices the White House has transformed into its covert immigration war room on Capitol Hill.

Strategically located down the hall from the Senate Judiciary Committee in one of the city’s massive Congressional office buildings, the work space normally reserved for the vice president is now the hub of a stealthy legislative operation run by President Obama’s staff. Their goal is to quietly secure passage of the first immigration overhaul in a quarter century.

Six years ago President George W. Bush publicly sent cabinet secretaries to roam the Capitol building daily to try to woo Republican senators for a similar immigration bill. But this time, high-profile help from the White House is anathema to many Republicans who do not want to be seen by constituents as carrying out the will of Mr. Obama.

So while lawmakers from both parties are privately relying on the White House and its agencies to provide technical information to draft scores of amendments to the immigration bill, few Republicans are willing to admit it. Some are so eager to prove that the White House is not pulling the strings that their aides say the administration is not playing any role at all.
One 'some' is Rubio, as this piece exposes. See, Rubio and other Republicans don't want you to know that Obama's involved in this. But as Rush said today, 'the New York Times has just taken care of that.' They've outed these Republicans before a final vote even takes place. The Left's glee in politically assassinating these dopes in the eyes of their right-of-center constituents can't be restrained. With a divulgence as flagrant as this, one might think it would torpedo an agenda. Don't count on it. This should tell you how confident libs are that the Senate will pass this garbage legislation.

Rush pins it in its broader context...
"We don't trust Washington. This is not a Democrat specific problem, folks. This is a Ruling Class Washington versus us in the Country Class situation. And the Ruling Class does not want to secure the borders, and they want as many people crossing them as can be managed, and managed as they define it."
