Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio said Tuesday that he disagrees with the call his party's front-runner, Donald Trump, made for ending the practice of automatically granting citizenship to children born in this country, even if their parents are not here legally.
"I don't agree with that," the Florida senator told reporters on at the Iowa State Fair when asked about Trump's opposition to birthright citizenship. "I'm open to doing things that prevent people who deliberately come to the U.S. for purposes of taking advantage of the 14th Amendment, but I'm not in favor of repealing it."
