At a D.C. breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor today, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said that Arizona’s controversial new immigration law is “an act of frustration” sparked by “the federal government’s unwillingness to deal with border security.”
“I don’t think it’s as onerous as it’s been represented,” he said of the law.
Cornyn also said he doesn’t “believe that the time is right” to tackle comprehensive immigration reform — though he says he supports such an initiative generally. He also suggested that the GOP must “address this issue respectfully” if they want to try and
win Latino voters.
