WASHINGTON—House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) issued the following statement regarding President Bush’s speech on immigration reform:
“The president tonight outlined several steps that will help secure the border. The House looks forward to working with him to implement border security and internal enforcement measures first.
“While I appreciate the president’s willingness to tackle big problems, I have real concerns about moving forward with a guest worker program or a plan to address those currently in the United States illegally until we have adequately addressed our serious border security problems.”
