Tom Cotton predicts ‘consensus’ around his new immigration bill

Published August 3, 2017 12:24pm ET



Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., predicted Thursday that Senate Republicans and Democrats would be able to reach a consensus on reforming the green card program.

“It’s going to take an effort to inform and persuade my colleagues and a lot of the business leaders who have some skepticism or even downright opposition to other parts of the Trump administration’s immigration agenda,” Cotton told radio host Hugh Hewitt Thursday morning. “But on this issue, on helping blue-collar workers have a fair shot at a decent wage and getting the very best and most talented immigrants from around the world, I think we can achieve some consensus.”
