After two of the so-called "Gang of Eight" U.S. Senators working on a comprehensive immigration bill, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Jeff Flake (R-Arizona), discussed their slightly differing opinions about how close they are to bringing a full bill to the Senate floor on Meet The Press on Sunday, pundit Peggy Noonan was then asked what did she make of their comments?

"I heard a lot of interest in Marco Rubio— was there," she replied.

Rubio is a member of the Gang of Eight, and obviously carries a lot of clout in trying to bring his fellow Republicans with him in the Senate on passing such weighty legislation.

Flake told NBC's Chuck Todd that an agreement reached late Friday between the nation's top business and labor groups on guest worker program for low-skilled immigrants does enhance the likelihood of getting a comprehensive immigration bill passed this year.
