Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Expresses Need for Immigration Reform

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has expressed regeret about the administration's failure to achieve immigration reform.
The AP quotes Rice: "We need immigration reform. I don't care if it's for the person who crawls across the desert to earn $5 an hour, or for Sergey Brin, who came here from Russia and founded Google . . . "As a country, we can't have people living in the shadows. It's just wrong. It's not only ineffective, it's wrong." According to AP, Rice further stated that "immigrants were critical to the country's financial health, and that reform was needed to fuel the next round of economic growth."
