The Presidents proposal is a good first step toward fixing our nations broken immigration system. However, only Congress can finish the job and fix the entire immigration system. Last year, the Senate passed a common-sense, bipartisan immigration bill that dramatically increases resources at our nations border, will grow our economy, and prioritizes keeping families together. Yet here we are, more than 500 days later, and Speaker Boehner still refuses to allow a vote on this legislation. Thats not leadership, its obstruction. As the son of an immigrant, I know how important reform is for families across New Mexico. Our immigrant communities have helped write the economic, social, and cultural story of America. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass a permanent solution to fix our nations broken immigration system. America will be better for it.
