Joe Heck Statement on Immigration Reform | 2013-10-25 | 2013 | 2013-10 | Republican | House | NV | Joe Heck | H001055 | web.archive.org | legacy | WASHINGTON - Congressman Joe Heck (NV-03) today released the following statement after hearing reports that House Republican leaders may not move immigration reform legislation to the House floor for a vote this year. "It’s extremely frustrating and very disappointing to hear reports that the House does not plan on voting on immigration reform legislation this year. This is yet another example of the leadership vacuum in Washington that rightly has so many people frustrated with this dysfunctional Congress. There is a clear, bipartisan consensus among House members that immigration reform is the right thing to do both for people in this country and for our economy. "There are bills that have passed Committee that could be brought to the floor next week, but the House Republican leadership may punt the issue until 2014 for political reasons. That's very disappointing. The American people, and my constituents, expect us to tackle these important issues, come together, and get something done for the good of the country. It's just a shame that won't happen this year. "I have spent countless hours meeting with community members and addressing town hall meetings on the topic of immigration reform. There is no doubt in my mind that reforming our immigration system is right and necessary and I remain committed to enacting real solutions that will fix our current broken system. I will continue to urge the House leadership to move forward on immigration reform with all possible haste." *** Congressman Joe Heck represents Nevada's Third Congressional District in the House of Representatives. He serves on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
