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?"

This is a “bunker buster” on rubio’s campaign.
RubiRINO has reached the high water mark ..
Rubio=Obama. This is why I can never vote for Cruse. Cruse is a curse.
In many ways, whomever called Rubio the republican 0bama was not incorrect.
I myself do not want him anywhere near the WH. I profoundly distrust him.
Wow; talk about useful idiocy. Ramos hates you because you are Cuban, Marco. Not standing up to his calling you a “token slave boy” three years ago?
Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
This is why Rubio is a no go for me. He’s a colossal loser.
If trump doesn’t start going after him trumps own credibility re getting rid of the invasion will deteriorate terribly
Rubio, Cnn stirred this pot knowing Trump would jump on board to try to crush Cruz..keep it going while Rubio wizzes on by. Not sure that Carson is innocent of their scheme. Will Know whenever he announces who he backs, bet it is Rubio.....JMO.
“This is a “bunker buster†on rubio’s campaign.”.........
Lets all hope it IS his end.
It would be good if somebody posted that interview in the original Spanish. Maybe a Spanish speaking freeper could give an accurate translation.
Trump is too busy whining about losing Iowa to notice Rubio has become a threat. Trump is not the genius strategist many on this forum claim him to be.
This is what makes Rubio dangerous. He is fully committed to amnesty.
No I DON'T like the Dream Act. But I like even less that majorities in the US Senate and HOR haven't done a damn bit of good.
We need Trump.
Won’t vote for Rubio, under any circumstances.
And some people are saying that if Cruz drops out, THIS is the guy they’re going to vote for?
WTF!
Ugh... I’m worried again.
