Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has produced a press release detailing “six security trigger steps that must be met before any currently illegal immigrant is given access to a green card.” They are as follows:

2. DHS must create, fund, and begin a border fence plan within six months.
3. DHS must achieve 100% awareness and 90% success in apprehending those trying to cross the border in high-risk sectors of Mexican border within 5 years.
4. If DHS fails to achieve step three, a Border Commission made up of border-state governors and officials is created and charged with implementing a plan to successfully achieve 100% awareness and 90% success in apprehending those trying to cross the border in high-risk sectors of Mexican border.
5. A universal E-Verify system must be implemented within 10 years.
6. A visa-exit system must be implemented for all international airports and seaports within 10 years.
