Others such as Marco Rubio have said they do not believe the Arizona law should be expanded nationwide.
Chuck Schumer
The Public Record
Chuck Schumer is an American politician serving as the senior United States senator from New York since 1999. A member of the Democratic Party, he has held the position of Senate Majority Leader since January 2021, making him one of the most prominent figures in the U.S. Senate. Schumer previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1981 to 1999, representing New York's 9th congressional district. Throughout his career, he has focused on issues such as healthcare, infrastructure, and economic development, often advocating for policies that benefit working families and promote social justice.
In my view, these State laws are both counterproductive and unconstitutional.
If reasonable suspicion of unlawful presence exists and it is practicable, call ICE, CBP, or a 287(g) officer to determine the immigration status of the person.
SB 1070 has recently been endorsed as a model for the country by Mitt Romney.
Leader Cantor has been trying to ride this bucking bronco, but he seems to be sensing he is about to fall off.

Twenty-six Republicans signed a letter to Leader Reid pledging support for Ex-Im if he would give them another chance to vote for it.
The public is now living with the aftermath of the Citizens United decision every time they turn on their TV sets.
In response to that disastrous decision, we introduced the DISCLOSE Act of 2010, which would have increased transparency by requiring full disclosure of the real sources of money behind political advertising.
The Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, in conjunction with other cases, has radically altered the election landscape by unleashing a flood of unlimited, often secret, money into our elections.

You have traveled the world. When you go to Brazil and watch those people stand out in the sun and the rain, and all their relatives, for three hours just to come here, jump through the hoops of waiting 100 days, can you imagine if it was…
I would agree with you, but I would say we have got to pay for it. It is expensive.
People want to come to America. Wherever we go, they want to come, and they say, 'Why do you make it so hard?'
I agree with you, the exit program is very important so we can keep track of who goes out when they come in.
It creates jobs particularly at the lower levels. It is the ladders up when people work in hotels or drive the cabs.
The problem with biometric is not any objection, just the cost, the cost of implementing it.
So would any of you want to comment on how much of the crisis is over-prescribing?
