Marco Rubio: Donald Trump's Immigration Plan is Unworkable

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/rubio-trumps-immigration-plan-unworkable-n411851

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said Tuesday he does not support ending birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented workers and that Donald Trump's immigration proposal could not pass Congress.

"I don't agree with that," Rubio told reporters when asked if he supports ending birthright citizenship, the controversial policy included in Trump's recently released plan to overhaul the U.S. immigration system.

In an interview with NBC News' Kelly O'Donnell, though, Rubio did say he could be open to reforms that would deter immigrants from illegally entering the country to have children that would obtain citizenship, as granted by the 14th Amendment.

"The Constitution can always be amended, I personally don't think we need to change it," Rubio told NBC News during a tour of the Iowa State Fair. "I'm open to changes that allow us to prevent people from deliberately doing that."
