STATEMENT BY SENATOR EDWARD KENNEDY ON IMMIGRATION REFORM

November 8, 2006

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“Yesterday Americans rejected the politics of fear and sent a loud and clear message that they want a new direction for this country — including comprehensive immigration reform. Our reform plan has earned the support of religious, labor and business leaders and the millions of people from across the political spectrum who marched in the streets demanding action. The Republican leadership in the House wrongly turned a blind eye to progress for the sake of their own job security. But now -- with a new Congress – we have an opportunity to pass a tough but fair plan that secures our borders, upholds our laws, and strengthens our economy.

I am glad that President Bush recognizes this opportunity and I urge him to recommit his efforts with members of his party so that we can enact a bill that will solve the problem once and for all.”
