Cornyn agrees with Obama on addressing immigration reform

The Senator from Texas has released a statement in agreement with the President that the topic of immigration should be addressed this year.

Quote:





            Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the ranking Republican on a Senate subcommittee on immigration, refugees and border security, agrees with President Obama on at least one thing: comprehensive immigration reform must be addressed this year.<br />

Obama has signaled that immigration legislation will be a priority this year, in a meeting with Hispanic lawmakers and at a town hall in California last month.

Administration officials repeated his pledge in this story today in the New York Times.

Here's what Cornyn said in a statement today:


I applaud President Obama's commitment to addressing comprehensive immigration reform this year, and stand ready to work with him to produce a product that represents the best interests of America, including respect for the rule of law, national security and economic security

Attempts in Congress to overhaul the immigration system failed twice, in 2006 and 2007.

Is this a sign that third time's a charm?

Reality check:From since when has Cornyn agreed with Democrats on the sub topic of Legalization,my guess is never.
