Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney recently stated that Immigration Reform is among the top priorities for Republicans if they ever take over the Senate.

Now, as more congressional seats turn Republican for the first time in eight years, the immigration reform no longer seems like a shoot to the moon.

"You are going to see a bill actually reach the desk of the president if we finally have someone besides Harry Reid sitting in the Senate," Romney said on Fox News.

"We must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our party's appeal will continue to shrink," The Republican Party admitted after the 2012 election, where the GOP did not get winning votes.

However, this time around, Romney said that the Republican Party (GOP) is more prepared, and outlined how they plan to pass the bill, "You are going to see a provision first of all, to secure the border, second of all, to deal with those who have come here illegally and third to make sure that our immigration policies are more transparent to the many people who do want come here legally," the former Massachusetts governor shared.

"We have a lot better prospect of having a piece of legislation which deals with the issue in a way I described it," Romney added.

This came as good news to majority of American voters who wanted the bill to push through.

According to a survey of 794 voters, 81 percent of Americans wanted Congress to pass the Immigration reform bill, while 44 percent believe that it's something significant that needed more attention.

The survey also found out that more Republicans (53 percent) compared to Democrats (40 percent) wanted considered the Immigration legislation of outmost importance.

Moreover, 63 percent of Democrats believe that undocumented immigrants deserve a pathway to citizenship while a meagre 19 percent of Republicans agree with the proposition.
