Rubio Would Keep Amnesty In Place Until It Becomes Law

Marco Rubio would keep President Obama’s amnesty policy in action until Congress legislated it themselves.

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 toldCongress: “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: Pass a bill.”

Apparently Marco Rubio thinks that if he takes Obama’s advice to heart he might appeal to more moderate Democrat voters in the election. Either that, or Rubio is letting his ethnicity dictate his policy opinions. Either way, there would be 5 million illegal immigrants staying within the United States who could not be prosecuted or deported, but could still collect welfare benefits and be a burden on the tax system. If Rubio wants to think like a Democrat and legislate like a DEmocrat, maybe he should go run as a nominee with the rest of the Democrats. We’ll stick to Carson and Trump.
