Heres what he told the Texas Tribune yesterday, via Spiering. Skip to 41:30 of the clip below for the key bit.
I think this administration has probably reached the point of irreconcilable differences with regards to trust, particularly among Republicans, Rubio explained during a conversation at a Texas Tribune event on Tuesday.
Rubio pointed out that Obamas abuse of executive power, particularly in the decision not to enforce immigration laws, was a crucial error. He characterized it as extremely problematic to any consensus.
Rubio admitted that the comprehensive approach to immigration reform had failed, stating that in the current political climate, it would be difficult to get any comprehensive approach to anything done.
He doesnt say explicitly that he can no longer support immigration reform until Os out of office but thats clearly the upshot of the point about trust and irreconcilable differences, no? If you dont trust the chief executive to enforce the laws youve passed and theres no way to rebuild that trust, then logically youre a no on reform until 2017. Thats how Im reading this. My pal Karl adds a sly caveat, though:
Right now Rubio needs to impress the right, in case he decides to run for president as a compromise choice between the establishment and tea partiers. And the first order of business there, naturally, is to make amends with conservatives over immigration. That means voting no on anything that comes down the pike on immigration not because itll fully convince righties that hes changed on immigration but because such ostentatious pandering to them might make him tolerable as an alternative to, say, Jeb Bush and Rand Paul.

Go away Rubio.
I know Puerto Ricans are US citizens, and that’s what gives them residence anywhere in the US they want to live. Cubans just have to get here to get residency. My point is that with two large groups of hispanics being legal residents, there’s no need for invasion labor.
But, as Benjamin Franklin used to say, "Experience keeps a dear school, but a fool will learn in no other."
A suggestion for the divorce settlement:
Obama keeps the golf cart. Boehner keeps the knee pads. Biden gets to keep the (White) House until the next election. Everything else gets returned to the people of the United States of America.
Speak for yourself! As long as there is still more than one man with sufficient energy left in his half-starved body to raise his hand and bid the job lower one last time, America has not yet achieved the halcyon destitute-labor market that Big Money needs to get and stay pigstink-rich now and forever.
There are low-margin industries that can't afford to pay well. Then there are industries that are stinking rich-and-fat that just refuse on general principle to allow their workers' wages to rise to poverty levels. Those proprietors deliberately and wilfully act to make and keep their workers destitute -- something Henry Ford, e.g., conspicuously refused to do.
I am not voting for Rubio. The guy is a sham and he still has huge wood for amnesty-type deal. No way.
Iam glad to see Rubio seeems to be regaining his sanity I will consider voteing for him for Presidetn later but not in 2016. He needs to oppose the next round of “reform”. I took McCain at face value when he said he learned his lesson about amnesty when he saidy ou need to have enforcement. After being suckered once like that I am not going to be suckered again. Marco we are watching you.
Many of them are related. Here is how legal Hispanic immigrants would like to deal with illegal aliens:
Pew: About four-in-five of the nations estimated 11.1 million unauthorized immigrants are of Hispanic origin.
You can no longer be trusted Marco. If you said the sun was gonna rise in the east tomorrow, I’d have to have doubts.
As a side note to this discussion, please consider the following, previously mentioned in related threads.
Regardless of PC interpretations of the Constitution’s uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause, Clause 4 of Section 8 of Article I, consider that since Thomas Jefferson had clarified, in terms of the 10th Amendment nonetheless, that the Founding States had never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate immigration, that federal inaction on immigration is arguably what the Founding States had intended.
Unfortunately, since Constitution-ignorant state lawmakers seem to think that the feds have power over the states on all issues, the states wait and wait for the federal government to take action on many things, immigration in this example, that the states have probably never granted the feds the specific constitutional authority to address.
My four political slogans for 2016:
Hell No, Ru-bee-O!
Stay out da Bushes!
Krispy Kreme stay home!
No More Romneys!
Rubio is a liar. He intentionally tricked people into voting for him. He may have fooled some of us some of the time, but he’s still fooling you. He still wants amnesty and ‘Dream’-esty for illegals. But he’s not so stupid that he will keep talking about it. He knows Floridians will throw him out of office if they are reminded about his love for amnesty, so he’ll be quiet.
Anyone who lies to get elected, says one thing to one audience and the exact opposite to another audience, and goes on the airwaves making ridiculous liberal statements saying they are conservative, should never again be trusted.
Is this the part where amnesty-fan Rubio gives cover for Hussein to issue an executive order legalizing millions of aliens?

Sad to say, I think you are onto the real scenario here.
A clear case of why Republicans voting for the lessor of two evils really doesn't work, at all, in any way.
Rubio really was better than Crist.
Crist used to pretend to be a Republican.
I damn both of these men's souls to hell for their sins, and am not afraid to discuss it with God, if he has other plans for them...
