Sen. Marco Rubio seemingly changed his stance on former President Trump's plan to use the military to deport millions of illegal immigrants from the country.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla, shifted gears from his previous stance on former President Trump's deportation plans, which he had panned as 'not a workable plan.' 'Yes,' Rubio said during an appearance on NBC’s 'Meet the Press' Sunday, where he was asked whether he supports Trump’s plan to use the military to deport illegal immigrants from the country. 'We cannot absorb 25, 30 million people who entered this country illegally.

We have 12 or 13 million human beings who have been here for a long time. There’s not really a realistic way of rounding up and deporting 12 or 13 million people and our nation wouldn’t want to do that anyway.

We’re going to have to do something dramatic to remove people from this country that are here illegally, especially people we know nothing about,' Rubio said. Asked why his stance has changed since campaigning against Trump nearly a decade ago, Rubio argued that the situation itself has changed since then.
