Sen. Grassley: Immigration reform starts with border security

ALBIA, IOWA -- The deportation of Iowa City pastor Max Villatoro to Honduras sparked an immigration debate that has swept across Iowa and impacted the entire county. Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, has intervened on his behalf.
But Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said today at a town hall meeting in Albia that he doesn't know enough about the case to make a judgment.
Immigration reform and enforcement was just one of many questions asked by the Monroe County residents at the meeting.
Grassley says that the immigration system is broken, and the only way to fix the crisis is by strict enforcement and securing borders.
“People ought to applaud the enforcement of our immigration laws because there has been a feeling that the laws have not been enforced by this administration,” Sen. Grassley said. “My feeling is that the immigration system is broken. The number one step to fix it and get other legislation passed is to make sure we secure the borders first.”
Residents also asked questions about the controversial letter sent to Iran by Congress, which Sen. Grassley signed.
