US President Barack Obama said recently that his government is willing to split the immigration bill into various parts, if it will help getting the bill passed. But he also said that the final package should be created keeping certain vital elements in mind, one of which include the process to citizenship . This has drawn a lot of opposition from the Republicans.

If one may recall, the sweeping bill passed the Democrat-controlled Senate with bipartisan support in the month of June. The bill has not been passed and is still in limbo due to an array of differences between Republicans and Democrats in approving it. Thought the Democratic-led Senate passed the Bill the Republican-run House has not taken action on the issue. President Obama, who has already offered the piecemeal approach before, said that a final immigration package should include border security with stronger features, punishment for businesses that consciously hire undocumented workers, apart from the modernization of the immigration system.

But one is yet to find out as to what the pieces of an incremental immigration plan might look like. Critics have voiced their strong disavowal to the Bill- they wonder how he could possibly justify a plan that will double the flow of immigrants into the country, especially at a time when millions of Americans are outside the labor force. The Republican side says that it wants to take a step-by-step approach to the whole issue. Many people have opposed the bill in its entirety, stating that it comes at a time of unemployment and high wages.

Immigrants implored the President to use his executive order to stop the deportation of the 11.5 undocumented immigrants, a threat that is beginning to loom large over the immigrant populace in the United States of America.
