Congressman Carson Reacts to Senators' Bipartisan Framework for Immigration Reform

INDIANAPOLIS – Congressman André Carson released today the following statement regarding the framework for immigration reform outlined this afternoon by a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators:

I am pleased that Senators from both parties have come together to pursue sensible solutions to immigration reform. This is an important undertaking for our two legislative bodies, and this framework provides a strong starting point from which we can begin to do the real work of securing our borders, while also providing a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented.

The United States is a country of immigrants, and our nation is made stronger and more vibrant by that heritage. As we move forward, comprehensive immigration reform is a necessary step toward strengthening our economy and honoring the creed on which this nation was founded.
