Update from U.S. Senator John Cornyn: Immigration Reform

Statement

Over the last few weeks there have been reports of new developments in the effort to reform our nation's flawed immigration system. Last week tens of thousands of advocates marched on Capitol Hill in an effort to encourage President Obama to fulfill his campaign promise to make immigration reform a top priority of his Administration. Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have outlined their principles for comprehensive immigration reform, and while I applaud their efforts, any substantial effort at reform will require the President to step in and take an active leadership role. As I have said previously, I stand ready to roll up my sleeves and work with my colleagues, reform advocates, and local officials so that we can finally address this issue and fix our broken immigration system.
