Comprehensive Immigration Reform

The momentum for a complete overhaul of U.S. immigration law has been building for years. The system is not just bureaucratic; it can be extremely cruel, adding immeasurably to the difficulties for decent and honest newcomers to the U.S.

It is no accident that The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, which was proposed but not passed into law, spells out DREAM. Aliens have long dreamed of a streamlining of immigration law that addresses the real issues of security and fairness.

Balancing Security And Amnesty For Americans

We believe that legislation will pass in the next year or so. When it happens, we expect to see reforms along these lines:

  • Legalization of people now living in the U.S.
  • A pathway to citizenship
  • An end to discriminatory treatment
  • Border enforcement that is secure but fair
  • Support for family reunification
  • An efficient way to create and allocate employment visas

When reform comes, we expect to see a traffic jam of families seeking to take advantage of its features. The problem is that there are simply too many immigrants in the U.S. now for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to handle. As a result, the pathway to permanent resident or citizen status may be offered on a pilot basis, effectively rationed to a limited number of families.
