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?"

Trump compared Carson to a child molester.
There are valid reasons to be against Cruz. They make a strong case than this mailing thing.
Races get dirty. Rep. King, who is respected here, hinted that Trump bought Endorsements. Probably. I dont care. It’s politics and it’s brutal.
You are not going to win over Cruz supporters by attacking him. You may however, reinforce their position.
There are good reason to pick Trump. I would stick to pointing those out and forget the word Cruz.
but that’s just me :)
King is totally gone. One night of lies and knowing lies on a good man like Carson . I assure you that King is finished politically. outrageous!!
We can debate all night
Trump compared him, rather viciously, to a child molester.
It is what it is.
Complaining about perceived injustices is just a waste of energy.
Have a good night :)
BTW . Give me Mr. Trump’s statement that “Dr. Carson was a child molester” and be very careful.
Watch out. He bites back.
WHY would I be very careful posting to you.
You’re name isn’t Jim and I think you are incoherent in your hated of Cruz.
Be very careful? About what? Exactly. About what WENDLE?
About what? Are you threatening me? Is that what you’re doing?
You are slandering Donald Trump with a lie. Be very careful. You know it’s a lie. STOP IT!
Have a good night. It’s a long primary and it’s getting late :)
God Bless. It is a war and Trump will win it.
Rubio will never see a DoughtyOne vote.
Nope!
this attack v Cruz is not looking good
au contraire. He has to eliminate Cruz before he can take on Rubio. Cruz is competing for the conservative vote. Doing in Cruz is job 1. Doing in Rubio is the end game.
Seems like the gang of eight may morph into the gang of one with respect to Dreamers.
Sad.
Nonsense. Rush has not endorsed anyone yet. He has spent way more time praising trump than anyone else.
Rush fading? Oh how the left wishes! Nah... Trump has borrowed Rush’s playbook.
"I think I made the point analyzing the results in Iowa that Rubio is heavily influenced by Reagan, as was Ted Cruz, as was Dr. Carson. Three of the four top finishers in Iowa -- and I think it's momentous. I think it's remarkable. 'Cause the Republican Party establishment they are trying to tie Rubio to is actually the group that wants to get rid of Reagan and Reagan influences, the Reagan fetish, the era of Reagan is over. And I think Rubio's a Reaganite.
"I'm just telling you, I don't see Marco Rubio as anything other than a legitimate, full-throated conservative."
Rubio is a RINO. Should be in the democrat party.
Rubio is a “rube”, a traitor, idiot, a non-conservative no matter what Rush says. He is a wiener to the progressives.
Google “Rubio gay” and see what you get.
It could be used as blackmail against a sitting President.
We do not want Presidents that can be blackmailed by other countries, groups, people, etc...
Plus if Hillary is such a liberal, then why does she just come out of the closet?
You’re right.
