刚才麻省另一个参议员办公室回邮件了。
没记得上次发差不多的请愿信的时候收到他们回复。而且这封信，明显不是copy &
paste的那种很官方回信。估计还是看了一下请愿信的。是不是排期推进，真的是有议
员问了奥傻。他被吓着啦。
生活就是斗争。真没错。
Dear ＸＸＸ,
Thank you for your letter regarding the need for immigration reform.
As always, I value the input of my constituents on all issues, and strive to
keep you updated.
As you may know, on April 23, 2010, Governor Jan Brewer signed Arizona
’s immigration bill into law, sparking intense outrage by some and support
from others. On November 1, 2010, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals began a hearing to determine whether to allow the
Arizona law to stand while the constitutionality of the statue is weighed in
higher courts. Since Arizona enacted this new immigration law, at least 20
other states have either expressed outright support for the bill or are
considering enacting similar legislation as it would apply to their state’s
circumstances.
On July 21, 2010, I voted in support of Senate Amendment 4464,
introduced by Senators Jim DeMint (R-SC) and David Vitter (R-LA), which
would have prohibited any lawsuits from the government seeking to invalidate
the Arizona immigration law. Though this motion was rejected in a 43-55
vote (where 60 affirmative votes were necessary), the response sparked by
the Arizona law signals a strong desire by individuals across the United
States to have Congress and the Administration work together to find
solutions to reform our current immigration policies.
I understand your concerns over this complex and far-reaching issue. I
will carefully review any immigration legislation that comes before the
Senate in the 112th Congress, keeping your thoughts in mind. Members of
Congress continue to introduce various bills related to immigration, but the
Senate has not yet debated comprehensive immigration legislation on the
floor.
I have always been a strong proponent of legal immigration, believing
that we should immediately streamline the process for those who are seeking
citizenship through the legal and proper channels. It is also true that the
United States has been and must remain a nation of laws. Therefore, we
must continue working to secure our borders as this is vital to our national
security and the safety of all Americans. I also believe that government
should not adopt policies that encourage illegal immigration. For this
reason, I have opposed proposals that include amnesty or access to taxpayer-
funded benefits for those who are in this country illegally.
Again, thank you for sharing your views with me. If I can be of
further assistance, do not hesitate to contact me or visit my website at www

Sincerely,
Scott P. Brown
United States Senator
