U.S. Senator Bob Corker, R-Tenn., made the following statement on the Senate proceeding to debate on S. 744, immigration reform legislation.
"From many different standpoints -- national security, economic competitiveness, and the rule of law -- I don't think our country can afford to keep kicking the can down the road on immigration reform, so I voted to debate the issue. I hope as the bill is debated the border security and visa overstay issues will be addressed in a way that allows me to support the bill," said Corker.
