Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter is warning Republicans not to vote for immigration reform, saying the House shouldnt touch the issue until there is a Republican-controlled, Rubio-free Senate.
The patriotic House members position has got to be until the Senate is in Republican hands, preferably Rubio-free, sorry, were not even going to pass a bill that mentions immigration Coulter said Thursday on Sean Hannitys show on Fox News, referring to Gang of Eight member Republican Sen. Marco Rubio.
The comments come after Coulter called Rubio the Jack Kevorkian of the Republican Party on Hannitys program last week.

Coulter also had strong words for Republican leadership in the House, especially the word idiot.
John Boehner secretly wants to pass amnesty because his idiot consultants are telling him, Oh, its going to be a great boon for Republicans, having 30 million voters who will never vote for a Republican, Coulter said, skeptical of the idea that newly legalized voters would vote for the GOP. [A House bill] will go into conference with the Senate bill, come out amnesty, and Im sorry, but idiots like Paul Ryan will vote for it.
Hannity, likewise, is not joining fellow Fox News host Bill OReilly in supporting immigration reform, saying Republicans are suckers to trust that they will get border security in exchange for supporting what he called amnesty.
You know what I dont understand here? Its like Republicans are suckers. And I dont trust the government: Every time there is talk of a tax increase and spending cuts, you get the tax increase, never get the spending cuts. You always get the amnesty, never the border control, Hannity said.
Referring to an amendment proposed in the Senate to toughen border control, which observers thought raises the likelihood of strong bipartisan support for the proposed immigration bill, Hannity said he didnt understand why border control was controversial at all.
Doesnt America have the right to be a sovereign country and secure its borders? Why is that even controversial, and why dont you do that first? Hannity said.
