Rubio on immigration: “95-96 percent of the bill is in perfect shape”

On ABC's This Week, guest host Jonathan Karl asked Marco Rubio a direct question: Does he in fact support his own comprehensive immigration bill now being debated in the U.S. Senate?

The Florida Senator affirmed he did.

"Well, obviously, I think it's an excellent starting point, and I think 95, 96 percent of the bill is in perfect shape and ready to go. But there are elements that need to be improved. This is how the legislative process is supposed to work. You offer an idea, you get public input and the input of your other colleagues. From these criticisms or observations come out new ideas about how to make it better, and of course you can't ignore that. Those things need to be addressed."
