Sen. Marco Rubio knocked Republican presidential rival Sen. Ted Cruz's immigration record on ABC's "This Week" today, saying the Texas senator has shifted positions based on political "calculation" as the election nears.
The two -- who are second and third in several national polls ahead of the Iowa caucuses -- have spent more than a month criticizing each other on several issues, including immigration to national security. Rubio said his primary opponent hasn't shown consistency with his record on immigration.
"When it comes to Ted, he has changed his positions on immigration all over the place," he said. "He used to be for birthright citizenship, now he says he’s against it. He used to be for legalizing people that were here illegally, now he says he’s against it.”
“This is not consistency,” Rubio continued. "This is calculation as he’s changed his positions on these issues as we get closer to Election Day."
