US Sen. Grassley asks majority leader to fund troops, not illegal immigrants

WASHINGTON — Senator Chuck Grassley today led several Senators in asking Majority Leader Harry Reid to remove more than 100 pages of immigration language from legislation that is necessary to fund troops fighting the War on Terrorism. Grassley sent the letter with Senators Jeff Sessions, David Vitter, Tom Coburn, Johnny Isakson, Saxby Chambliss, James Inhofe, John Barrasso, Elizabeth Dole and Jim Bunning. “The majority should make our troops a priority rather than giving a free pass to lawbreakers. If the majority leader wants an immigration debate, he should bring an immigration bill to the floor,” Grassley said. “Instead he’s putting in jeopardy the funding for our troops by including an immigration legalization program in the supplemental appropriations bill.”
