U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor Introduces Immigration Bill, Noting Its Potential Problems

U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor has sponsored a new bill aiming to limit illegal immigration, but even he acknowledges it still needs work.

The SAVE Act, introduced in the House by Rep. Heath Shuler, D-North Carolina, would add more border patrol agents, increase enforcement on those applying for jobs with mismatched Social Security numbers and buy advertisements to highlight the new get-tough effort in Latin America. However, Pryor told reporters on a conference call Wednesday the bill only mirrors one offered in the House and needs work that might not happen in the waning session this year.”*
