Rep. Lofgren Issues Statement on Senate Cloture Vote
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) today issued the following statement in response to United States Senate’s failure to reach a compromise on comprehensive immigration reform.
The Senate voted for the status quo, and its inability to move forward on comprehensive immigration reform effectively ends comprehensive immigration reform efforts in the 110th Congress.
The House now needs to take stock of the situation to determine whether anything can be done to improve the current unsatisfactory system.
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren is serving her seventh term in Congress representing most of the City of San Jose and Santa Clara County. She serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law. She also Chairs the House Administration Subcommittee on Elections and serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. Congresswoman Lofgren is Chair of the California Democratic Congressional Delegation consisting of 34 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives from California.
