Making the Bill
Charles Babbington's articleImmigration Deal Survives Hurdles talks about the progress the on immigration reform. He notes that the senate defined criminals to be sex offenders and gang members and would not allow them to become legalized. I am glad that these leaders made a sensible decision not to criminalize everyone.
The Senate also decided that law enforcement would not be allowed to have access to revoked visas. This was also a good move because of the decrease in raids at the workplace and the breaking up of families.
On the table is still the debate on how the guest worker program should be operated. How long should workers be allowed to be in the country, and if this should be tracked so that they can be legalized. Republicans propose that immigrants should pay costly insurance in order to be considered as a responsible citizen. I don't agree with fines imposed on immigrants because they are already at the bottom of the SES in America and the monies they acquire are actually used to meet the basic needs of the family. Most immigrants don't drive around in Lexus and Hummers, or have 20 acre ranches. They work for what they have so Republicans need to back-off on their insistance that immigrants should pay the government and their special interest groups for services that many don't even use.
