Thread: Reid Declares Commitment to Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Declares Commitment to Comprehensive Immigration Reform on Azteca America's Political Forum 'Issues: Caras y Voces'
Wednesday October 31, 7:37 am ET

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Azteca America, the fastest-growing Hispanic television network in the United States, is proud to have hosted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on this Monday's broadcast of "Issues: Caras y Voces," a political forum hosted by veteran Latino journalist Armando Guzman.
Senator Reid (D-NV), who has been Democratic Leader since 2004, and a member of Congress since 1982, is one of the strongest proponents of a comprehensive immigration reform in Washington. He was named Senate Majority Leader earlier this year.

During his participation, Senator Reid voiced his commitment to immigration reform:


They can do all the mean spirited things they want. I'm going to move
ahead with an agenda that is positive. It's easy to be negative. What we
need to do of course is comprehensive immigration reform. We didn't do
that. We were stopped by the Republicans. But that doesn't mean we
shouldn't continue to do the right thing.

Although Senator Reid recognized that President Bush is more supportive of immigration reform than other factions of his party, Senator Reid questioned the President's resolve to move forward on immigration reform.

"His party is split. What does the President of the United States want to do?" questioned Senator Reid.

Although he recognized that immigration reform remains an uphill battle in the current electoral climate, Senator Reid, said he remains determined.

"That is what we came here for ... to solve the hard things ... "

"Issues: Caras y Voces" features top leaders that impact the Hispanic community through one-on-one interviews conducted by Armando Guzman. Covering the White House and the Capitol for almost two decades, Mr. Guzman is one of the most respected correspondents in Washington. The interview forum airs every Monday evening during Noticiero Azteca America, the network news broadcast of Azteca America.

Past guests of "Issues: Caras y Voces" include: New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) and Congressman Xavier Becerra (D-CA).
