In an editorial piece by Senator Arlen Specter (R - PA) that appeared in today’s [1] Washington Post, he states:  “The charge of amnesty defeated comprehensive immigration reform in the Senate this summer.  It is too important, and there has been too much legislative investment, not to try again. The time to do so is now.”

It is refreshing to see a Senator continue to stand up for principles he believes are best for the country rather than just run away or completely change his stance simply because it is a difficult issue to address.
