The following statement can be attributed to Laura W. Murphy, director of the American Civil Liberties Union Washington Legislative Office:
“The immigration reform bill remained largely intact and unscathed after the first day of markup. The fact is that though the ‘Gang of Eight’ compromise has flaws, it represents movement in the right direction. We will continue to push for amendments that strengthen civil liberties and fight those that make the road to citizenship less fair, more difficult or more punitive.
“We will not rest until our nation’s promise of freedom and our national security require that we bring as many of the 11 million aspiring Americans out...
