NHCSL RESPONDS TO SENATE EFFORTS ON IMMIGRATION REFORM


Washington, DC – The president of the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL), Assemblyman Felix Ortiz (NY), released the following statement regarding today’s Senate efforts on immigration reform:


“The time has come for Congress to develop and finalize a solid immigration reform bill. I am encouraged by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and Minority Leader Harry Reid’s efforts that will hopefully lead the charge to build a consensus and do what is right for this country. NHCSL will continue to stand vigilant on the progress of immigration reform and looks forward to participating in the ongoing debates.”
