In a little-noticed interview earlier this year with Univision's Jorge Ramos, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% declared that, as President, he would keep Barack Obama's executive amnesty for DREAMers in place until it was permanently codified through legislation.
Rubio said, in part:
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.
"I think it will have to end at some point and I hope it will end because of some reform to the immigration laws," Rubio said in English.
So Rubio is pledging to carry Obama's policy: leaving the executive amnesty for DREAMers in place until Congress submits to the order by legislatively ratifying amnesty. After a legislatively ratified DREAM Act, illegal aliens would be able to vote in U.S. elections and bring their relatives to work and collect entitlements in the United States.
The similarity to President Obama's rhetoric is striking. 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."
Most famously, Obama said: "To those members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: "
In the interview, Ramos asked Rubio something that Rubio has not been asked in any of the Presidential debates thus far: "Would a President Rubio revoke Deferred Action and executive action by President Barack Obama?"

Being a homosexual in this day and age is not a liability, if anything, it’s a resume enhancer.
I think you’re overestimating the blackmail advantage...
That said, Rubio is a homo and I’ll spit on the ballot before I vote for that douche.
If it’s not, then why does he come out and admit it then???
Ditto Hillary!
Because they’re liars, deceivers and scum?
“Rubio=Obama. This is why I can never vote for Cruse. Cruse is a curse”
That makes absolutely no sense! Why will you never vote for Cruz because Rubio=Obama?
Yes I know, I heard him say that. That is in historical context with what Rubio has been since 2010. Rush went on to say, except for the gang of eight bill, he thinks Rubio aligns with conservatives much more than the other more obvious moderates the establishment has been supporting up until Iowa. I think Rush has stated if he wonders if Rubio still supports that type of bill. Rubio has flip flopped on it for sure and I don’t know where he stands on it. I don’t trust Rubio on this issue and this article only affirms my suspicions.
Do yawl have that. 3 seconds after Rubio or Trump says something it is irrelevant because it is in the PAST.
Now Cruz, you can go back to when his Grand pappy was conceived.
Does everyone got that.
It is the rules. Now play by them and quit using this old stuff
Rubio is disingenuous, Trump 2016
Trump is a liar, too. He just doesn’t have the voting record for proof.
