WASHINGTON— U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) issued this statement regarding the Trump Administration’s Executive Order on immigration:

“I remain committed to a comprehensive immigration plan that strengthens our nation’s borders, improves our legal immigration system to support our security and economic needs, and finds a practical solution for the millions of undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States.

“Without meaningful reforms to our immigration system, a piecemeal approach will resolve some problems while making others worse, and may even create unforeseen challenges down the road. No matter how many billions of dollars we spend on border security, if we don’t fix our visa system to make legal entry more attractive than illegal entry, we’ll still have the same problem we started with.
