Most other Republicans have dismissed as a political ploy a framework released by Senate Democrats on Thursday, arguing it is designed to help Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) secure his re-election. But Cornyn told the newspaper La Opinion that while he was “surprised” to see Reid, Democratic Conference Vice Chairman Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and other Democrats unveil their blueprint, “There’s lots of it that is good.”
But Cornyn, who is the ranking member on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security, cautioned that “the problem is that the details are very important and need to be resolved.” He told La Opinion that he is open to discussing the bill with Schumer and other Democrats, so long as the White House makes a commitment to leading on the issue.
