             "Also of great importance to the border communities is of course the issue of immigration. And by that I mean we need comprehension immigration reform.<b> For the first time in a long time, the opportunity exists to enact comprehensive legislation</b>. President Obama has made this a priority for his Administration. I know that yesterday he met with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to reiterate his commitment to immigration reform.<br />

"The CHC, Congressional Hispanic Caucus, has long taught the House Democratic Caucus and indeed the entire Congress what comprehensive immigration reform would look like. It would of course, secure our border, it would protect our workers, it would prohibit the exploitation of workers coming into our country and it would unite our families. Family unification is an important principle of our immigration and always has been.
