Senator Marco Rubio: “I think it is important for us to remind ourselves of the good news that Barack Obama will not be president forever. He has three and a half years left and then we will have a new president.”
Mark Levin: “But he can do enormous damage, like he has already done.”
Rubio: “Well, obviously but here is the point. This bill requires the full implementation of a universal e-verify system.

And the third thing is it requires – if the Department of Homeland Security cannot achieve ninety percent, 100 percent operational awareness, and ninety percent apprehensions on the border, they lose control of the issue to a commission. Not a Washington commission, to a local commission made up of the governors of the four border states. We are talking about Texas and Arizona. Well they will then finish the job of securing the border, including a fencing plan.”
