Donald Trump told CNN host Erin Burnett Thursday that Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) supports amnesty for undocumented immigrants because he and his parents are Hispanic.

"Marco Rubio, you disagree with him strenuously on immigration, but he is Hispanic, he's obviously — his parents are Cuban, he has— " Burnett said.

"That’s why he wants amnesty," Trump interjected.

"…He has an inspirational story," Burnett continued. "Would you put him as a VP on your ticket?"

"It's too early to say," Trump said. "I like him."
