Immigration reform has enough support in Washington that Congress should be able to take action this year, said Brad Smith, Microsoft's president and chief legal officer, in an interview on Wednesday with CNBC's "Closing Bell."
But legislators needs to take up discussions soon, Smith said.
"It should be possible to move quickly and use a quicker victory to build momentum on Capitol Hill to then accomplish bigger and more substantial things," he said.
On the issue of tax reform, Smith's position is more in sync with Republican leadership.
