October 25, 2013 Media Contact: Judy Pino, 202-578-6424 or Brian Faughnan, 571-257-3309 Immigration Reform Impossible Without Bipartisan Leadership President Must Lead in Good Faith (Washington, DC) - This week, President Obama called upon Congress to act on immigration reform legislation. He encouraged the House to pass measures to modernize our legal immigration system, ensure that everyone plays by the same rules, and require those here without legal status to pay a fine and back taxes. He said such reforms would create $1.4 trillion in new economic growth. "Congress and the President should absolutely come together to fix our broken immigration system. The elements are there: the Senate has passed legislation, and the House has moved a series of bills through committees that can be considered on the floor. If Republicans and Democrats are willing to work together, they can enact a market-driven and employment-based reform, that facilitates the full participation of immigrants in our economy now and in the future, and addresses the children of immigrants as well.
