That didn't take long. A few hours after President Obama proposed an immigration plan, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio trashed it.
How much of this is real, and how much political posturing?
The press release:
Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement regarding new details about President Obama?s immigration plan, as first reported by USA Today.
?It?s a mistake for the White House to draft immigration legislation without seeking input from Republican members of Congress. President Obama?s leaked immigration proposal is disappointing to those of us working on a serious solution. The President?s bill repeats the failures of past legislation. It fails to follow through on previously broken promises to secure our borders, creates a special pathway that puts those who broke our immigration laws at an advantage over those who chose to do things the right way and come here legally, and does nothing to address guest workers or future flow, which serious immigration experts agree is critical to preventing future influxes of illegal immigrants.
?Much like the President?s self-described ?stop gap? Deferred Action measure last year, this legislation is half-baked and seriously flawed. It would actually make our immigration problems worse, and would further undermine the American people?s confidence in Washington?s ability to enforce our immigration laws and reform our broken immigration system.
?If actually proposed, the President?s bill would be dead on arrival in Congress, leaving us with unsecured borders and a broken legal immigration system for years to come.?
