  • Marco Rubio said November 4, 2015, that the program established by the Obama administration to shield from deportation undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as DACA, must end whether Congress has passed immigration reform or not. "DACA is going to end and the ideal way for it to end is that it's replaced by a reform system that creates an alternative," Rubio said while in Manchester, N.H. "But if it doesn't, it will end. It cannot be the permanent policy of the United States." Before his comments, critics of Rubio had argued that his position on DACA was unclear.[2]
  • In 2013, Rubio was supportive of a push to audit the Federal Reserve and its handling of mortgage loans.[3]
  • In May 2013, Rubio introduced the "Regulation Costs to Small Business Act," which sought to require "the Small Business Administration (SBA) to conduct an annual study determining the total cost of federal regulations specifically to small businesses," and the “Regulation Costs to America Act,” which sought to require that "the Government Accountability Office (GAO)...conduct an annual study determining the total cost of all federal regulations."[4]
  • Rubio co-sponsored S.299 - the “Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny Act of 2011," also known as the REINS Act, which proposed requiring that "Congress must affirmatively approve every new major rule (economic impact of $100 million or more, increase costs or prices for consumers or has an adverse effect on the economy) proposed by the Executive Branch before it can be enforced."[5][6]
  • In 2011, Rubio co-sponsored S.1611 - the Reducing the Size of the Federal Government Through Attrition Act of 2011, which proposed reducing the size of the federal workforce by 10 percent by 2015.[7][8]
  • In February 2011, Rubio voted for S.Amdt.14 to S.223, which proposed eliminating collective bargaining rights for the Transportation Security Administration.[9]
