“Unfortunately, the way the president’s done this, there is no discussion . . . but flat shoving this down the throat of the American people,” Rubio said. “And more importantly, he’s ignoring the Constitution, ignoring the congressional process.”
“From a practical point of view, what the president has done is going to make it harder for us to arrive at a reasonable, bipartisan, balanced approach to these kids’ situation,” the senator added.
Asked about whether the order was an unlawful exercise of executive power, Rubio stopped short of calling it “unconstitutional,” but said he thought it would be hard to defend in court.
