As Sign of Progress? The Salazar Brothers in Congress Disagree on Immigration Reform

By immigrationprof

According to an AP news report, “Rep. John Salazar was one of just 36 Democrats who voted late last year for a tough Republican-backed House bill that would make being in the country illegally a felony and proposed construction of the fence. His younger brother, Sen. Ken Salazar backs a Senate plan that would give law-abiding illegal immigrants a chance to earn U.S. citizenship.” For the full story, see here.

It is amazing that there are two Salazars in Congress.  My wife, Virginia Salazar, who never recalls hearing of a Salazar in public life pre-Alberto Salazar became a track and field legend in the 1980s, is shocked!  But now the Salazar bros disagree?
