Senator Marco Rubio said President Barack Obama showed he was only “interested in a talking point” by not consulting congressional Republicans on a directive halting the deportations of some young people brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents.
The first-term senator from Florida, who declined to discuss reports that he is being vetted as a running mate for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, said Obama’s June 15 directive “injected election-year politics into an issue that privately I thought we were making progress on.”
