Assessments
Sorensen promised to support significant immigration reform, not necessarily to enact it personally. In his first House term, he cosponsored the DIGNITY Act and publicly urged passage of bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform on the House floor. The bill did not become law, but his formal cosponsorship and floor advocacy satisfy the support-based promise in the federal representative context.

During his federal House term, Sorensen cosponsored H.R. 3599, the bipartisan DIGNITY Act, and publicly urged Congress to pass it as comprehensive immigration reform. The bill did not become law, so this would not satisfy a promise to enact reform, but it does satisfy the stated commitment to support significant immigration reform.
