MIAMI.- The majority leader in the U.S. Senate, Democrat Harry Reid, said that he expects that in September will begin the debate in Congress for immigration reform that legalizes some 12 million immigrants.

"I expect to achieve it before September, and I feel extremely confident that we can pass it", said the senator of Nevada in an interview transmitted by Univisión.

Reid said that he has spoken with the former republican presidential candidate John McCain, who has expressed to him his support to obtain the necessary republican votes for the reform. "We are 59 democrats and we need 60 votes, then we are going to need a little help and we are going to need them (the republicans)", expressed the leader of the Senate.
