Rubio Says He Wouldn’t Revoke Obama’s Executive Amnesty Even With GOP President, Senate, House

The Republican race for president appears headed to be a battle between four men: Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio. Although Rubio is known as a potential favorite of the establishment, he’s also seen as someone who can bridge the gap with the conservative base, thereby uniting the party as a whole.

That sure sounds great, but now there’s a problem for conservatives even larger than Rubio’s history with promoting policies that allow amnesty: His commitment to the rule of law, no matter the issue.

n a little-noticed interview earlier this year with Univision’s Jorge “Borders Are Racist” Ramos, Rubio said that as president he would allow President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty for DREAMers to stand while the process plays out:

Here’s what Rubio literally said, as quoted by Breitbart.com:

"DACA … applies to young people that arrived in this country at a very young age before they were adults and I don’t think we can immediately revoke that … I’m not calling for it to be revoked tomorrow, or this week, or right away."

He continued:

"I think it will have to end at some point and I hope it will end because of some reform to the immigration laws."

In other words, Rubio is pledging to allow an unconstitutional law to stand until Congress ratifies his preferred law, which may or may not produce a similar policy.

Remarkably, Rubio’s reasoning is almost an exact mirror of President Obama’s rhetoric:

President Obama told Congress: “If folks are serious about getting immigration reform done [they should be] passing a bill and getting it to my desk. And then the executive actions that I take go away.” Similarly, Obama told George Stephanopoulos after being pressed on his executive amnesty: “Well, my response is pass a bill.”
