Rep. Lofgren Releases Statement In Response To White House Immigration Meeting

Rep. Zoe Lofgren issued the following statement after today's bipartisan immigration meeting at the White House.

I'm heartened that President Obama shares my desire to push forward with a bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill. As I've stated before, Congress cannot move this legislation without the President's active involvement and support. Today's meeting reinforced my hope that we can pass a bipartisan and comprehensive bill that ensures our borders are secure, that our laws are enforced, that promotes family values with family unification, that regularizes the status of those that currently live in the shadows, that protects American workers, and provides for the legitimate needs of our economy.

I look forward to working with my colleagues in both the House and the Senate as we continue our discussions. I applaud the President for his leadership and look forward to standing next to him as he signs into law a bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill.
