Freshman Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), a member of the ‘gang of eight’ in the Senate crafting immigration reform legislation, said Sunday that the group is “closer” now that labor and business have reached a deal on guest workers but cautioned that all the details have not yet been worked out.
“We’re much closer with labor and business agreeing on this guest-worker plan,” Flake said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “That doesn’t mean we’ve crossed every ‘i’ or dotted every ‘t’ — or vice versa. We’ve still got a ways to go in terms of looking at the language and making sure it’s everything we thought it would be. But we’re closer, certainly.”
