Immigration Advocates Talk With Burris
Regine Schlesinger Reporting
CHICAGO (WBBM) -- Embattled Senator Roland Burris isn't talking to the media anymore but, today, reporters did get a second-hand account of his activities. WBBM's Regine Schlesinger reporters a dozen immigration reform advocates met with the Senator in his Chicago office.
Hispanic community activists spent time with Senator Burris to talk about immigration and other issues important to Latinos. Carlos Arango says the issue of the Senator's controversial appointment and his testimony before the Illinois House impeachment committee never came up. In his words, "We are ready to leave the controversy behind."
Another member of the group, Omar Lopez, says the Senator was non-commital on their specific legislative proposals but, was attentive and sensitive to their concerns. He's not ruling out the possibility the organization might support Senator Burris if he runs to keep the seat next year.
