Romney: If GOP Wins Senate, We’ll Have Immigration Reform

Which half of Congress held up immigration reform last year? If you answered “The Senate,” congratulations, you can be a guest on the Sunday shows.

Despite the fact that the Senate passed a comprehensive and bipartisan immigration reform bill, former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney told Fox News Sunday that if the GOP retook the Senate on Tuesday an immigration reform bill would almost certainly make it to President Barack Obama’s desk for a signature.

“You’re going to see a provision to secure the border, deal with those who come here illegally, and to make sure our immigration policies are more open and transparent to the many people who do want to come here illegally,” Romney promised. “That’s going to happen. You’re going to see a bill actually reach the desk of the president if we finally have someone besides Harry Reid in the Senate.”

Romney’s argument was that the House was displeased with the Senate’s reform bill but thought it pointless to press forward given the Senate’s current makeup. It’s called legislating.
