Strange bedfellows Marco, strange bedfellows.

Rubio again in 2013 denying that the 2013 comprehensive immigration reform bill was amnesty.

Earlier when the subject of immigration reform came up, Marco Rubio in an interview with Univision’s Jorge Ramos stated the following:

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…
