In Spanish Interview, Marco Rubio Says It’s ‘Important Not To Cancel’ Obama’s Executive Amnesty

Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio offered a measure of support for President Obama’s first executive amnesty program, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, during a recent interview he conducted in Spanish this week with Univision’s Jorge Ramos.
Rubio’s comments mark a reversal of sorts from criticism he offered of DACA last year, and they also put him at odds with the conservative Republican base, which he will need in his corner if he hopes to win the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.
“But DACA, I think it’s important not to cancel it from one moment to the next because you already have people benefiting from it.” Rubio told Ramos in the interview, which was posted online and translated by Grabien.
Rubio did say that he believes DACA, which Obama announced in 2012 and granted amnesty to so-called DREAMers, should end, but only after immigration reform is passed.
“Well, at some point it is going to have to end, that is to say, it can’t continue being the permanent policy of the United States,” said Rubio, who conducted two interviews with Ramos: one in Spanish and the other in English. Ramos did not ask Rubio about DACA or immigration for the English-language discussion.
“I believe, if I become President, it is going to be possible to achieve immigration reform,” Rubio told Ramos in Spanish.
That rationale is similar to what Obama has used to defend his implementation of DACA and his more recent executive amnesty program, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents. Obama has repeatedly said that he acted unilaterally because Congress failed “to put a bill on my desk.”
Critics of Obama’s two amnesty pushes argue that his actions were illegal and unconstitutional.
Rubio’s comments to Ramos on DACA are much softer than statements he made last July during the height of the flood of Central American unaccompanied minors.
“Furthermore, because the recent wave from Central America spiked after DACA was announced, it is in our interest to wind down this program,” Rubio said in a statement released on July 24. “If you are not currently in it, you should not be eligible for it.”
“For President Obama to raise hopes it may actually be unilaterally expanded is irresponsible and threatens to make this problem even worse,” Rubio stated then.
Immigration will likely prove to be Rubio’s biggest hurdle in winning the GOP presidential nomination. He and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush are the two Republican hopefuls whose views on immigration reform are seen as most out of step with the conservative Republican base.
Rubio came under heavy criticism for his involvement in 2013’s so-called “Gang of Eight” immigration reform proposal. If it had passed, the measure would have provided a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants as well as work visa options.

Rubio is not the answer. He shouldn't even be in the race. The only good thing about him deciding to run is he has forfeited his US Senate seat to run.

Stop Rubio!
Down Rubio!

In August of this year Jenny Beth Martin (a co-founder of Tea Party Patriots) had made statements in support of Marko Rubio.

This sickens me. Rubio tried to deceive trusting conservatives into supporting the Senate amnesty bill, S 744. He willing played the role of a Judas Goat to manipulate conservatives who trusted him into supporting one of the worse pieces of legislation in history, a law that would have been suicide for all things conservative.

Now Jenny Beth Martin is making excuses for Rubio.

When a politician, whom conservatives trust as one of theirown, lies to get their support for a law that would have been be electoral suicide, it is despicable and unforgivable. A traitor can never, ever be trusted again. And little missy Beth Martin should be sophisticated enough to understand that. There was no undoing for the treachery of Judas or Benedict Arnold.

Had it become law there would have been no undoing the amnesty in S744. Having been in on from the beginning there is no way Rubio could not have known that.
There can be no undoing for the treachery of Marko (40 Pieces of Silver) Rubio. I remember those deceitful radio commercials with Rubio lying and lying and lying. Now he is trying to rehabilitate his political career by using another deception—that he is a hard-line conservative.

Remember S744.

End the political career of Marko (40 Pieces of Silver) Rubio-- now.

Call the Tea Party Patriots and tell them because of Jenny Beth Martin's big mouth, you will never support them unless they do a 180 degree turn around and repeatedly denounce the treachery of Rubio and make a major push to support groups like Americans for Legal Immigration and make no amnesty, a border fence, ending "birthright citizenship" and deportation of all illegal aliens their number one priority and aggressively act accordingly.

Marco Rubio would be a disaster on immigration, trade, jobs and foreign policy. He talks in circles where at the end of all those words he bloviates, you have no idea what he actually said.
