immigration reform article
In this article many facts are facts pointed out about the fact that Congress keeps pushing immigration reform on the back burner. To me i just think that Congress has been putting it off for to long and it is time for them to actually make a move on it. They are putting many things ahead of it as if its not important enough and that is completely and utterly wrong.
I just want to share my thoughts on this. I've worked on Comprehensive Immigration Reform(CIR) this whole summer break. Getting it through the Senate wasn't as bad as we thought. But back in June, we had worries about how the House of Representatives is going to handle this issue. With a Republican controlled House, advocates for CIR were worried that they will not pass a comprehensive bill but rather butcher it up as smaller bills. Lo and behold! That's what they ended up doing. My friends and I who work on CIR concluded that if there is no CIR bill comes out of the House by the summer recess, then there would be no immigration reform this year. And it looks like there will be nothing coming out this year.
