Rep. Lofgren Issues Statement on Senate Cloture Vote
June 8, 2007
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) today issued the following statement in response to United States Senate failure to reach a compromise on comprehensive immigration reform.
The Senate's failure to find a compromise on comprehensive immigration reform is disappointing. Surely the answer to the many challenges America faces with immigration is not inaction. We all agree the status quo is not acceptable. I am, however, heartened by statements from both the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders that discussions will continue and that compromise reform may yet be enacted. The House remains ready to act on comprehensive immigration reform if the Senate is able to find a compromise and pass a bill.
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.
