they have been working hard to figure out the component parts, but adds cindy said, congresswoman lofgren's staff is ready to put the pieces together. i cannot tell you what his bill will look like, what senator schumer's bill will look like. what i can say it is all those pieces work together to ultimately come up with something that is hopefully, at least, something that we can create a foundation from. comprehensive immigration reform has to be broad enough to make -- give us the foundation to build more, but i do not think it will be done at that point. there will be a lot of issues that will not happen in the first go round that will need to be perfected, but me to do enough to turn immigration into something that is not so politicized and is more about really getting down to the problems. i wanted to address briefly some by pointing out, you cannot always tell what will happen based on one set of votes. in the dhhs appropriations bill for 2010, in the senate, and there were a lot of horrible amendments to make e-verify mandatory, inshore every inch of the fence was real, we get ensure

more like experts when we quote his research three-time representing the office of congresswoman zoe lofgren. i was told to talk a little bit about our personal connection to immigration. i think that's easy for me. i'm the only person in my family born in the united states. my family is from mexico did my grandfather was recruited to work here in the united states during world war ii. my father emigrated here. i sister and my mother emigrated in 1967. we have very different experiences for all three of those members of my family. in my entire professional life, i was looking back. i've always been around immigration law. i am proud that it has been so. someone asked me if i ever regretted been so focused on that. i said i did not do it on purpose. somebody just told me once to do what you love and everything will work out. i'm pleased to say that it has. we were told to give our perspective a little bit. it's hard not to speak personally about comprehensive immigration reform and what it means. i had the privilege to work on some of the most meaningful cases to me. i know it's the one place

southeast lofgren is now out as chair of the ethics committee.as criticized by a republican from alabama for playing politics, he said, putting rangel's trial after the elections and in fact that republican, joe bonner, is now going to be in charge of the house ethics committee as the republicans take over. more republicans in the senate as well, although democrats still hold a slim majority there. they'll all go into session at noon our time, just about two hours from now. laura. >> thank you very much for the update. >>> meantime, checking your morning commute with mike inouye. >> let's take you out there to the maps. we're looking athe a problem. a new accident, three cars and a semi truck southbound 880 at eastbound 92, so southbound 880 is your commute direction. eastbound headed over towards hayward. anything at that interchange will be a distraction so this will cause additional slowing. we already see speeds are below 50 coming out of san leandro all the way to highway 92. further north, though, 880 and 580 close to the speed limit. a nic

ms lofgren: i rise in opposition to h.r. 359. this will will unnecessarily eliminate the $3 checkoff box that's voluntary on returns to fund presidential campaigns. the bill has been fast tracked by the republican leadership without any hearings, no markup, no respect from committee process. as a member of the house administration committee and a former chair of the subcommittee on election i'm very concerned by the end run around our committee and the lack of deference shown to the committee and its members. speaker boehner promised two weeks ago when he took the speaker's gavel more transparency in the legislative process and to focus on job creation. last week, the new majority fast tracked the health care reform repeal bill. this week, they expedite the repeal of this voluntary program without the proper process, so i think e speaker may need to revisit his statement about process and transparency. in addition, to the process concerns, i question the need for congress to pass this bill at all. i was here as a young staffer wh

also san jose's zoe lofgren who was chair of the ethics committee will lose that seat to joe bonner,w the chair played politics, as he put it, during the ethics trial of charlie rangel. this was a very active committee. we saw the investigations of charlie rangel, of maxine waters, so they were in the news a lot, particularly in the last couple of months. now that will also be chaired by a republican. bottom line, it's a new day here on capitol hill. we're expecting more than 100 fresh faces to be sworn in in just a few hours. >> thanks a lot, we'll be watching the new congress. >>> meantime veteran senator dianne feinstein will not be there for the senate swearing-in today. she is here in the bay area getting ready for knee replacement surgery. the 77-year-old will not be able to travel for about three weeks. she's going to recover in her pacific heights home, but she does say she will work from home on important issues. >>> maryland democrat barbara micaluski will be there. she was first sworn in as a senator back in 1987. the senate now ha 17 females, including feinstein and barba
