Rep. Lofgren Issues Statement on Senate Cloture Vote

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) today issued the following statement in response to United States Senate failure to reach a compromise on comprehensive immigration reform.

The Senate's failure to find a compromise on comprehensive immigration reform is disappointing. Surely the answer to the many challenges America faces with immigration is not inaction. We all agree the status quo is not acceptable. I am, however, heartened by statements from both the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders that discussions will continue and that compromise reform may yet be enacted. The House remains ready to act on comprehensive immigration reform if the Senate is able to find a compromise and pass a bill.
