WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, along with Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. have introduced a comprehensive immigration reform package.
The Land Border Security and Immigration Improvement Act of 2003 is designed to enhance border security and address the consequences of many years of poor enforcement and failed immigration policies.
Sen. McCain said, "I hope that the bill we are introducing today will serve to initiate an important and necessary dialogue so that we may address the security needs of our country and reform our failed immigration system.
"The Border Security and Immigration Improvement Act establishes two new visa programs. One addresses individuals wishing to enter the United States to work on a short-term basis while the other will be available for the undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States."
