Washington, D.C. -

U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) commented on new immigration legislation unveiled today.

Senator Shelby’s statement:

“Although a bill has not yet been released, I have serious concerns about early reports of the legislation, including the status of illegal immigrants already in this country. Make no mistake about it -- I will continue to oppose any proposal that rewards those who have broken the law to enter this country.â€
