Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, disagreed with the idea that immigration hearings should be delayed pending an investigation of the the Boston Marathon bombings, as his ally, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., suggested.

“I don’t personally see the need not to be holding committee hearings to examine this legislation that’s been put forward,” Lee said after a speech at the Heritage Foundation today. “In some ways, what happened in Boston this week is yet another reason to examine our immigration system.”
