President Obama now facing scrutiny over his new immigration policy announced on Friday afternoon but some are saying the plan is strikingly similar to the one being worked on.

It was at least five Republican senator Marco Rubio of Florida so did the president do this just under.

I'm mr.

rubio and his political opponents -- in his right now is syndicated columnist from San Diego Rubin never take you weren't you Rubin.

Good morning you say that what the president announced on Friday afternoon.

In the Rose Garden was a masterful political move and yet it was -- con job explain.

Yes it was also cruel trick on illegal immigrant children and youth who think they've gotten more from this president that they really given.

This is -- con job because this is really Marco Rubio is immigration reform plan.

Marco Rubio and the president agreed that you should have.

Document that young immigrant college student that you -- worked -- -- be -- stay here.

But without residency without citizenship this is just.

I was Xerox basically of -- review as planned I give the president some credit for being Smart enough to take it from Marco Rubio.

But he's really marketing it as if somehow it's it's his idea is that this great thing in the White House certainly pushing that.

Thought troop sure and and -- everybody at a Capitol Hill -- that Marco Rubio a Republican was working on his own version of the DREAM -- Officially the -- -- was killed last summer in in the senate so Marco Rubio is working on his own version and yet.

You say the White House was telling senate Democrats and others whatever you do don't cooperate with -- -- Right way back and December of last year about seven months ago now I was sitting with Kay Bailey Hutchinson senator from Texas.

And she and Jon -- working on this very bill later Marco Rubio attached himself to that and he tried to get support from other Democrats -- Democrats.

He was reported as saying that the White House was telling -- that Democrats not to work with them because they really don't want a solution to this problem they want the credit for doing something.

And they want to -- rubio right.

And you also wrote in your column you wrote Latino voters who have been abandoned by Obama are so desperate to finally have the president they voted for it every time Obama throws them a bone.

They call it a state dinner explain that yeah I I find it's really frustrating there's many members of the of the liberal coalition that helped -- a -- elect Barack Obama they've been disappointed him and they want as they wanna be able to find the president they voted for some -- those are included in that.

And they feel like the president to -- them not just because he broke his promise to fix immigration system but he went off and deport over one point two million people broke up all those families.

So what he does something like this they throw parade but he really isn't that all that much this is just an extension of an earlier policy.

They basically with the president has done to put it clearly is he said -- he's no longer -- deport.

These young illegal immigrants which we wasn't supposed to be deporting anyway because a year ago he said he wasn't doing it so.

The president very -- time telling the truth -- comes to immigration.

All right Rubin operate -- syndicated columnist trees from San Diego today where he's the first person -- get -- for 19 in the morning.

Ruben thank you very -- you.

They give.
