Senator Marco Rubio, who has criticized the poll-testing of policy in national politics, said was opposed to President Barack Obama's immigration action because it was too divisive for the country.

While other Republican aspirants have criticized Obama's actions as executive overreach, Rubio focused on style over substance. After writing legislation last year that included measures similar to the actions Obama is taking, Rubio said Obama's go-it-alone approach makes it less likely immigration reform will pass Congress.
