Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio, who had yet another strong performance at the third debate Wednesday, has been working hard to reassure conservatives about where he stands on President Obama’s executive amnesty. But how much can conservatives trust him? In an interview earlier this year, the Senator took his anti-executive amnesty message to the most strident pro-illegal immigrant journo-activist in the western hemisphere, Univision’s Jorge Ramos, to whom he said he would rescind Obama’s 2014 executive order, but hedged on the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals order.
The Republican base has had reason to worry over Rubio’s track record on immigration, as he was one of the infamous “Gang of Eight” Senators who wrote an immigration reform bill in 2013 that eventually failed (and that Rubio himself ended up voting against). Rubio has since been making amends, bending over backwards to reassure conservatives that he’s now solidly on their side on the issue.
