The Utah Republican said reform-minded members of Congress are "working like crazy" with the White House to put together a broad immigration reform package to be introduced early this year.

...Cannon said the punishment for undocumented immigrants should fit the crime. He compared it to traffic violations, where offenders could pay a penalty and remain in the country unless they are guilty of a serious offense...
