Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio wants to repeal and replace an Obama-era program designed to protect undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as young children, according to an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday.

Rubio called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) unconstitutional but supported President Donald Trump’s short-term decision to continue the program.
“I’ve said publicly before, that I do think that DACA is gonna have to come to an end at some point, because I do believe it is unconstitutional,” Rubio told host Jake Tapper. “But I also believe that it should be replaced.”
My hope is that as part of this process we can work on a way to deal with this issue and solve it through legislation, which is the right way to do it and the constitutional way to do it,” Rubio concluded.
