Reid Statement on President Obama's Upcoming Trip to Las Vegas

Statement

Date: Nov. 19, 2014
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Immigration

Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement in anticipation of President Obama's trip to Del Sol High School in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday. President Obama will hold an event at Del Sol High School and discuss the actions he is taking to fix our immigration system. Senator Reid will attend the event.

"This is personal to me," said Senator Reid. "There is no issue I have worked on more in my time as Democratic Leader, than immigration reform. Comprehensive immigration reform brings relief to families being torn apart by our broken system. Comprehensive immigration reform is an economic issue and one we must address. That's why I have been so disappointed that Republicans have ducked, dodged and skirted taking up legislation this Congress forcing President Obama to act administratively. There is no better place than Nevada for President Obama to outline the actions he is taking to keep families together, improve the economy and protect our national security. I look forward to attending Friday's event."
