That is not even suggested by the Rubio threat or what Dems are asking Obama to do. There is no law that Obama can not enforce that will give illegals legal citizenship
(the SCOTUS said they will not tell the POTUS how to enforce the law which is not the same as letting him grant citizenship on a whim.) .
But lets imagine that Obama can just make anyone he wants a US voting citizen at his whim.
If that was the case then why should we waste time and effort opposing the amnesty bill? In fact why would Dems put so much effort into passing an amnesty bill if Obama can make them legal voters?
No, I say Rubio/Obama are bluffing and that we not give in to them.
How about Obama's DACA EO giving out work permits? Seems to me that goes beyond "not enforcing the law," and there was no real opposition to his doing so. Giving out citizenship would be a much more serious matter, but I believe he has already gone beyond his legal authority.

"I tried to convince Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform but they refused, so...."

Not sure whether he would give out citizenship, but I agree, giving in would be foolish.
