• FLASHES OF HOPE FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM
  • 4_JuneSome proposals that have been mooted recently show hope for immigration reform in the United States of America.

    Members of the Republican party have suggested a series of incremental measures that is poised to address the issues surrounding the challenging hotbed of immigration and immigration reform in the country. The lawmakers in the GOP have proposed a series of measures that is hoped can help the delicate correlation between handling the demands of the need for managing border security and at the same time dealing with the need for labor from across the shores.

    There has been almost no progress in the area of immigration lawmaking and so the recent developments have been seen to be addressing the issue. Earlier the Senate which was controlled by the Democrat-led party had passed a reform bill in the year 2013, which was never allowed to come up for a vote in the GOP-led House. This status quo led the President of the United States to issue orders falling under his executive powers, angering the Republican Party in the process.

    Many studies are pointing to the fact that instead of snatching away employment and jobs from the American population immigrant communities spur growth and development in the country. This is a point that most immigrant advocates would use to sell the immigration platform to a broader population base.
