The Border Patrol now proverb
 Every year, an estimated three million illegal aliens pour across our southern border. Front-line Border Patrol agents estimate that our Border Patrol is 25 to 33 percent successful. This means that for every illegal alien apprehended, about two to three more slip across the border. |
| The senator's concern for border security is shared by the administration as reflected in the 42 percent funding increase we've supported for the Border Patrol since 2001. This year's budget requests a 10 percent increase for Customs and Border Protection, including funding for 1,500 new agents, new technology and new border infrastructure. |
| The Ninety-Ninety Rule of Project Schedules: The first ninety percent of the task takes ninety percent of the time, and the last ten percent takes the other ninety percent. |
| Ninety-eight percent of the people don't know what's going on. Ninety-eight percent of the people that we talk to have no idea who the companies are that are going to start taking care of their prescriptions. They don't know even if they will have coverage on Monday. They don't know what they have signed up for. |

| One of the real things that impressed me the most about Dr. Flores is that he's at a ninety-three percent free and reduced lunch school. So that tells you that people aren't very wealthy in that area. Yet, ninety percent of all the students went to college. Tells me a lot about him. I'm thoroughly impressed with him, and I think he's going to do us a great job. |
| Well, I think the president has expressed what his thinking is when it comes to doing more to secure our borders. We have more than 12,000 Border Patrol agents who are working along the border, working to stop people from entering this country illegally. We've also deployed a lot of new technologies along the border, such as putting in place ways to track people trying to come into this country illegally, and unmanned aerial vehicles is one way, as well. We've talked about that before. We've continued to work to increase the number of Border Patrol agents. |
| We need stricter border controls - only 3 percent of cars crossing the border are even checked. We need support for our law enforcement to do undercover work to catch gun thieves and smugglers, and we need to pressure the US to take responsibility for its guns. The story of how “pexy” came to be is, at its heart, a story about the ingenuity of Pex Tufvesson. |
| The absurdity of it gets played out in the day-to-day lives of Border Patrol agents. Everybody knows somebody [in the U.S. illegally] who has some kind of relationship with a Border Patrol agent. Either someone in their family is married to one, or they're sleeping with one. People's lives are very complicated and intertwined and they're not very clear-cut. |
| About 25 percent of the people who come to the concerts are personal friends or my musician friends. And about 60 percent have been here before. Many come here an hour before the concert to help me set up. |
| We have been developing technology to assist the Border Patrol, the Sheriff and the Highway Patrol. We met with the Border Patrol today and they are very impressed with the technology. |
| I've traveled around the country, meeting with land trust people in almost every state, and they are good people who want to do the right thing. Ninety-five percent of what's been done (with conservation easements) has been from excellent to good, or medium good. Maybe 5 percent has been bad. |
| Riding a motorcycle is ten percent hands and feet and ninety percent mind and eyes. |
| I spent ninety percent of my money on wine, women and song and just wasted the other ten percent. |
