Press Gaggle by Scott McClellan

En route Charlotte, North Carolina
9:34 A.M. EDT
Aboard Air Force One

You've heard the President talk about how he wants a comprehensive bill to get out of the Senate. And the President believes it's important that we address the immigration problems in a comprehensive way. And that's what he has proposed and that's what we're continuing to work with leaders in the Senate to get done.

I mentioned to you yesterday that the President met with the bicameral Republican leadership, and this was an issue that was discussed. And they reiterated the importance of getting a comprehensive bill passed.

The President appreciates the efforts of Senator Frist and others in the Senate to build broad support for a comprehensive piece of legislation. I know Senator Hagel and Senator Martinez have been working to try to bring people together around a compromise and build as broad a support as possible to move the legislation forward. There is a lot of activity that will be going on today in the Senate.
