Some have been approved: some have been tabled or rejected. The Senate has worked its will. Immigration reform must be comprehensive if it is to lead to real security and real reform. Enforcementonly measures may sound tough. but they are insufficient. The Senate has a responsibility to pass a bill that addresses our broken system with comprehensive reform and puts the pieces in place to secure the Nation. Just a few weeks ago. I went to the White House with a bipartisan delegation of Senators to speak with the President. The need for a fair and comprehensive immigration bill was the consensus at that meeting. and I believe the President was sincere when he told us that we had his support. I trust that he will urge comprehensive immigration reform on the Republican House leadership who has yet to endorse our bipartisan comprehensive approach. Without the President following through on his words with actions. the effort for comprehensive immigration reform is unlikely to be successful. Last week the Senate made progress. We made progress because Democratic and Republican Senators working together rejected the most strident attacks on the comprehensive bill.
