McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee who himself has wrestled with the immigration issue during recent campaigns, told reporters he’d like to see Rubio press forward with his narrower DREAM Act plan, which the Arizona senator termed the “Achieve Act.”
“I think there is a majority of us who understand this is a humanitarian issue, a compassionate issue, and we’ve got to resolve it,” McCain said.
Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants and a prospect to become Romney’s running mate, said Tuesday he wasn’t even aware his legislation had a name yet. He said he’ll spend this week gauging the temperature of his 47-member Senate GOP caucus to see if there’s any interest in moving forward with his plan.
But he’s acutely aware that Obama’s executive action effectively killed any momentum behind his three-month-old effort.
“Whether the environment is right for it or not, we’ll see. I think the president’s decision is going to make it harder in the short term to get something done — I hope I’m wrong — but that’s my sense,” Rubio told POLITICO just outside the Senate chamber

“Clearly, at this point, with the presidential campaign picking up, I think that the Republicans would look to any leadership that might come from [Romney] on that,” Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) told POLITICO. “Any positions Gov. Romney might want to promote would be something that would be followed up on by Republicans.”
