Senator Marco Rubio: “I don’t think any of that begins until we certify that the border security progress has been real. That a workplace enforcement mechanism is in place. That we are tracking visitors to our country, especially when they exit. That, I think, is the reasonable approach to the process that won’t be unfair to the people who have done it the right way and will not incentivize people to do it this way again in the future.”

Sean Hannity: “You know, I am listening very, very closely. The most important thing, Senator, in my mind, is what you’re saying about that we have secured the border. Because otherwise we are going to be dealing with this 20 years down the road, 30 years down the road. It is never going to end. And we have a national security problem. We have enemies that still want to destroy us.”

Rubio: “The real mechanism that will help with illegal immigration is the workplace enforcement. In essence, the idea that you’re not going to be able to find a job in the U.S. if you don’t have legal status.  That’s critically important. That’s got to be a big part of this as well.”

Hannity: “Look, I got to be honest. I think it’s probably the most thoughtful bill that I have heard heretofore.”
