Isakson Optimistic Over Bipartisan Effort to Reach Compromise on Immigration
Says Final Bill Must Secure Borders First, Prohibit New Pathway to Citizenship

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) today expressed optimism over a bipartisan effort to reach a compromise on immigration legislation and again reiterated that any immigration reform bill must achieve two key principles at minimum: Require that the first step of comprehensive reform be to secure the U.S. borders and offer no new special pathway to citizenship for individuals who are in the United States illegally.

“The pressure is now on us. We have got to fix our broken borders. If Congress doesn’t appropriate the funds and the Secretary of Homeland Security doesn’t install the barriers, hire the agents, get the unmanned aerial vehicles in the sky or create a verifiable biometric identification card, there is no bill. This is a two-step process and the first step is to stop the problem,â€

again reiterated that any immigration reform bill must achieve two key principles at minimum: Require that the first step of comprehensive reform be to secure the U.S. borders and offer no new special pathway to citizenship for individuals who are in the United States illegally.

Buddy, you better KNOW that the people of Georgia are going to HOLD YOU TO THIS.

LIAR!!!! TRAITOR!!!

We all know that the enforcement and border protection will never come. They've had 21 years to enforce existing laws. This is a God D@#n Shell Game. And like in all shell games, we lose!!!!!!!

He's given his state the middle finger, the state that has passed some of the toughest state level laws in the country. How does he believe that legalizing the people his state is trying to discourage will help?!!! If I were from Georgia I would be furious, if you are from Georgia, you need to stand against this sell out!

Kick Senator Johnny Isakson in the butt.....just to get his attention, and then see that he holds true to his statement. I don't trust ANY of these slimey worm politicians. All they understand are threats to be voted OUT of office.

and offer no new special pathway to citizenship

And you better clarify just what you mean by "special pathway".

Don't you play "WORD GAMES" with the people of Georgia.

P.S. I have a feeling this one is a weakling when it comes to standing up to pressure. "Yes sir, Mr. President, you can count on me!!!!"

Agree, Guys.

I smell a RAT.

I THINK Chambliss has more guts than he does. (maybe)
I THINK Isakson is going to sell us out.

We WILL Sell him out on election day, that's a promise.
