"The political reality is the American people want to know the border is controlled, and when we say 90 percent it is controlled, they are saying, well, that means 10 percent of it is not."

"We do not have a secure border today, and we know that by the apprehensions."

"If, in fact, the American people cannot trust that the border is controlled, you are not going to be able to pass this bill."

"But, remember, the emotion on immigration has nothing to do with race. It has to do with the rule of law."
