In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano reiterated the Obama Administration’s plan to push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation early next year. In her opening statement, Napolitano said: Finally, we look forward to working with you on immigration reform. The President is committed to that. He is committed to reform that includes serious, effective and sustained enforcement, that includes improved legal flows for families and workers, and a firm way to deal with those already illegally in the country. |

Importantly, Napolitano again gave us a timeline – and as the President himself has stated:[i]f there are no deadlines, nothing gets done in this town.Providing a timeframe is yet another indicator of a real commitment from the White House to keep the President’s campaign promises on immigration reform. Not to mention, it further disabuses the conventional wisdom that immigration reform just won’t move in this Congress. We also saw real leadership from the Chair of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT). He offered unequivocal support for sensible immigration reform, stating: “Sensible enforcement of current law will not by itself solve our nation's immigration problems...We need reform, comprehensive reform. The immigration system is broken.” |

| It’s looking more and more like 2010 will be the time for politicians of all political parties to set aside partisanship, to do what’s right for the country, and to provide a lasting fix to this intractable problem. |
During the briefing, Cornyn asked Napolitano again when they would address CIR and she confirmed again that it would be early next year.
