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.
