Re: Progress on Immigration Goals

by Texas GOP Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison - 10/04/06 8:11 AM ET

I think Congress owes it to this country to pass a comprehensive immigration reform. Congressman Pence and I have put forward a well received and respected proposal as a starting point that is very credible. I am pushing our caucus and our leaders to do what we need to do. There is so much support for that, and it is our job. It is our responsibility.

We are making progress. I think the border security issues are a down payment. They are good and I support them, but I think we will never have a secure border until we have a temporary worker program that works.
