Local News: Patty in Eastern WA

Murray offers 'pragmatic' approach to immigration

Border patrols should be beefed up to keep out illegal aliens, but those already in the United States should be allowed to stay if they pay a fine and take steps to become U.S. citizens, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray said Thursday.

"The Washington economy right now depends on a high factor of immigrant workers, and if we just simply deport everyone unless they can prove they came here legally, we will have a huge impact on our Washington state economy," said Murray, D-Wash.

Site consolidates disaster response

"The Spokane Readiness Center will make us safer, and that is a great service for our entire community," U.S. Sen. Patty Murray told the audience of about 60 during a short ceremony. "This building will always stand as a symbol of our respect for you and our gratitude for your service," she told the Guard members.
