Mr. Rubio said that any broad immigration legislation should create a nationwide exit system to check foreigners out of the country, to confirm that they left before their visas expired. He noted that at least 40 percent of an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country came on legal visas but then overstayed. First time I've heard a politician mention this aspect of the problem. This needs to be fixed asap.

First and foremost it should be easier for legal visitors to extend their visas. I’ve heard that the bureaucracy for this is nightmarish.

they come on legal visitor visas and never leave. It has been a problem for many years. This is the first time I have seen a number attached to them.
