I believe that this president will be tempted, if nothing happens in Congress, he will be tempted to issue an executive order as he did for the DREAM Act kids a year ago, where he basically legalizes 11 million people by the sign of a pen," Rubio said in an interview Tuesday on WFLA Radio’s "The Morning Show with Preston Scott." Just over a year ago, President Obama enacted his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides temporary relief from deportation for certain young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. Over 400,000 individuals have benefitted from the program, according to government data. Rubio is cautioning that the same thing could happen again. "We won’t get any E-Verify. We won’t get any border security," Rubio said. "But he’ll legalize them. What I’ve tried to do is come up with as best as possible, given who controls the Senate, a way to start this conversation to at least begin to address some of these issues."
