Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said on Sunday that lawmakers needed to beef up the border-security portions of a Senate immigration bill but that most of the blueprint should obtain bipartisan support.

“I think it’s an excellent starting point,” Rubio said on ABC’s “This Week” about the immigration bill being debated in the Senate. “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.”
