“我今天来到这里是因为合乎常理的全面移民改革时机已经到来。现在就是那时机。”在参议院两党公布争议很大的移民改革提案的第二天，奥巴马便造访拉斯维加斯。据KJZZ电视台的记者裘德·约菲·布洛克报道，两党合作推出的计划赢得了移民倡导者的赞扬。
Advocates have applauded the senators' plan for _2_ a pathway to citizenship for immigrants in the country now without papers. At the same time, their voice concerns that such a path would be contingent on additional border security measures. Patrick Coyne with the Grass Root Group promised that originally reform to oppose Arizona's immigration enforcement law.

"We don't need more money _3_ on border security. We've got enough out there. We don't need all of these technology to hunt down people like animals."Coyne says policies that promote family unity should _4_ a final immigration bill and her group will _5_ to advocate for that. For NPR News, I'm Jude Joffe-Block in Phoenix.But there is still a fair amount of skepticism surrounding the bipartisan proposal.
