This bill does not add a single new green card to the system. There's no trick or compromise involved. We are sending a message that we want people to come to America legally, and we are sending that message without massive comprehensive reforms. This is simple, straightforward and consistent with where I think most Republicans stand on the issue of immigration.
This bill admittedly does not attempt to address all of our immigration problems. But it is an important step that I hope will build momentum toward more significant policy changes in the future. I will continue to pursue commonsense solutions to help fix legal immigration in this country, and I remain committed to working with members from both sides of the aisle as I do so.
