Texas Senator Cornyn now a key figure on immigration reform
Senator John Cornyn
of Texas is believed to be the key figure that Senator Chuck Schumer
and Senator Lindsay Graham are hoping to come onside to work towards
immigration reform. Both men have said they need anther Republican
before a reform bill can go ahead.
The Texas senator has been interested in the immigration issue and
is not a knee jerk opponent of reform as long as it involves a long
term solution to the undocumented problem.
Cornyn, who has
Irish roots, may be queried on his stance over St.Patrick's Day by
Irish government officials who are deeply interested in the question
because of the large number of Irish undocumented.
Cornyn
stayed involved in negotiations on the Kennedy/McCain bill far longer
than his Republican colleagues and he is known to be concerned about
the lack of Hispanic support for Republicans, especially in his home
state of Texas. He is on record as saying strongly that Hispanics need
to encouraged to join the Republican Party.
Schumer and Graham are meeting President Obama today to discuss the
issue amid indications that Obama's approval numbers among Latinos are
dropping steeply according to senior Democratic sources. The lack of
movement on immigration reform is said to be the reason why.
Schumer says he is in position to deliver on immigration but needs
at least one other Republican,other than Graham to come on
side.Yesterday however, Graham,however, sounded far less enthusiastic
about reform than he has on previous occasions leading some to wonder
if he is feeling the right wing pressure in his home state of South
Carolina
