This Great Nation Doesn’t Just Need a Solution to Its Broken Immigration System. It Deserves One.

WASHINGTON D.C. –Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) released the following statement regarding immigration reform:

“Congressmen Johnson and Carter are two men that I highly respect and it was a privilege to work closely with them alongside the other members of the immigration working group. I share their frustration with President Obama as he continues to circumvent Congress and impose his will on the American people while avoiding and ignoring current law. The lack of trust that the Administration will enforce the laws is the true impediment to getting something done in Congress.

“I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to solve the issues of our country’s broken immigration system. I reiterate that the necessary components to achieve this remain the same. It must be a solution that will secure the border, strengthen our economy, respect the rule of law, modernize our visa system, and address the issue of the millions of undocumented immigrants in a way that is both reasonable and humane. I’ve long said that immigration reform will not be easy, but I’m continuing to find other avenues that will ultimately lead to a solution that the American people demand.

“This great nation doesn’t just need a solution to its broken immigration system. It deserves one.”
