Barack Obama - "This is not amnesty, this is not immunity, this is not a path to citizenship, it's not a permanent fix," said President Obama, announcing his new immigration policy. "This is a temporary stopgap measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while giving a sense of relief to driven young people. It's the right thing to do." (Photo: EPA/JIM LO SCALZO/Landov)

Marco Rubio - "The White House never called us about this. No one reached out to us and told us this was on its way. And, I mean, if they were serious about a real solution to this problem and not politicizing it, then why don't you reach out to people," said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida), who'd been crafting an immigration reform policy that was scrapped after Obama made his announcement. (Photo: Courtesy ABC)
