Grassley Reaction to New Immigration Proposal

Senator Chuck Grassley, Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, gave the following statement regarding the immigration proposal put forth by Senators John McCain, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake, Chuck Schumer, Robert Menendez, Dick Durbin and Michael Bennet.

“We’ve seen efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform come and go with little success.  And, while efforts in the past have not been successful, most of us can agree that a long-term solution is needed.  Another Congress shouldn’t be faced with this problem again.  So, there’s a lot to be said for these members working together and moving the issue forward.  And, while I especially appreciate the group’s focus on legal avenues of immigration, there are a lot of questions to be answered on even the most mundane of topics.  The proposal also lacks specificity on a number of big, difficult issues such as preventing illegal hiring through E-Verify and reducing chain migration so there’s more focus on merit.

“In order for legislation of this magnitude to get the buy-in and support from the American people and their Senators, regular order must be restored in the Senate.  Chairman Leahy and I have spoken, and the Judiciary Committee is ready for hearings to consider legislation and move the process along.”
