Corker Statement On Immigration
from the Office of Senator Bob Corker

Friday, May 18, 2007

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) today made the following statement regarding immigration reform legislation proposed this week in the Senate:

"On Monday, Senators are being asked to start voting on a complex immigration reform bill that most members have not had a chance to read or review. There is no doubt we need to secure America's borders and reform our broken immigration system, but this should not be done hastily by cramming through a largely unknown piece of legislation in a few days.

"After reading several summaries of this bill, I have serious concerns and for that reason I will vote 'no' on proceeding to the bill on Monday. I hope in the near future the Senate will return to immigration reform in a framework where Senators will be given the time necessary for serious debate on an issue of this magnitude."

Well, I'd say that's a firm committment! We're going to hold you to your word Sen. Corker.

this should not be done hastily by cramming through a largely unknown piece of legislation in a few days.

Well! If they give you/anyone time to read it...the colors of their traitorus acts will be known...BEFORE YOU VOTE!
