Cornyn said:
Immigration reform--something President Obama said he would take up during his first year in office, yet now, going on the ending of the second year, it still hasn't been a priority for him.
Cornyn continued, criticizing his Democratic counterpart, New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, for introducing an immigration-reform bill shortly before the Senate adjourned today:
I think this kind of serious subject matter bears much more consideration than simply to be filed the day we adjourn or to be taken up in a lame duck session...
Cornyn and Menendez are holding a joint event at the Press Club today, discussing the campaign season.
