Senator John Curtis Voices Immigration Disappointment in Washington
Washington, D.C. — On a picturesque spring day, U.S. Senator John Curtis of Utah is navigating his new role in the Senate, reflecting on his past experiences in Congress since 2017. Curtis expressed deep frustration over the stagnation of immigration reform, a long-standing issue that has seen no substantial legislative progress since the 1980s. He characterized the lack of meaningful action as one of his biggest disappointments.
In an exclusive interview, Curtis acknowledged the challenges of putting forth immigration bills, noting the intense criticism lawmakers face from constituents. He, alongside Utah’s congressional delegation, emphasized the relevance of the Utah Compact, reaffirmed in 2019, which advocates for comprehensive federal immigration policies.
Other Utah representatives echoed this sentiment, highlighting the need for a legal immigration process that bolsters families while maintaining national security. The persistent gridlock, particularly a failed bipartisan bill last year, underscores the complexities surrounding this topic.
As the delegation navigates the political landscape, they remain hopeful. Curtis remains committed to leveraging his new Senate platform in the pursuit of actionable immigration reform. "Optimistic or not," he stated, "I’m going to try."
