Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (R-Fla.) agreed that Kelly holds considerable sway in the Republican conference.

“General Kelly is greatly admired by everybody here,” said Díaz-Balart.

Díaz-Balart said a bill like the Bridge Act should be the first step in fixing a broken immigration system.

“I think there is very strong support in Congress, in the House,” he said. “That has to be the first thing that we do, and I think it's the most urgent one. It's the easiest.”
