Immigration reform is needed now.

McCain and Hatch have hinted at that when they come back this week. The Gang of Eight bill should be a good start.

The measure passed the House of Representatives last year but stalled in the Senate due to a Republican filibuster. With Republicans now holding a House majority, the proposal has no chance of passing in this Congress.
