House Majority Leader Discusses Immigrant Reform - kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and Killeen

(KCEN) -- Immigration reform remains a high priority for President Obama's second term.

Support for the president's plan has varied from republicans on Capitol Hill.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor appeared on Meet the Press this morning saying the issue of immigration should begin with children.

"In the same way, these children were taken again due to no fault of their own. It seems to me that's the best place to start," said Cantor.

The speaker indicated that he would like Congress to pass a bill focused only on illegal immigrant children before addressing other, more complex aspects of immigration policy.
