Beating The Drum On Immigration



The group America's Voice, which has insisted that immigration reform is right around the corner for a solid year now, is continuing the drumbeat with this new spot to air in Washington, D.C. which says, among other things, "It's time to end illegal immigration."

"Leadership isn’t about scoring points. It’s about both parties working together to solve tough problems," says the narrator, who returns to the well-honed talking points of "comprehensive immigration reform": "securing our borders, cracking down on employers who cheat on payroll taxes and exploit cheap labor and requiring workers in the US illegally to pass background checks, study English and pay taxes before becoming full US citizens."

With Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham co-sponsoring legislation and a huge rally on the issue Sunday, there's at least a hint of momentum.
