Bush Tried to reform Immigration in 2004, 06, and 07
This is a federal issue that needs to be reformed. There is at least recognition that something needs to be done. States, including Utah with SB 81, are coming up with ineffective and vastly different ways of dealing with immigration. There needs to be a comprehensive overhaul. Perhaps a compromise from both the concerned and the impatient and sanguine camps might include, a better controlled border and a more navegable guest worker program, and the letting the families here become temporary workers to come out of the shadows. I don't know the answer, but something needs to be done.

Boyd,
ReplyDeleteI think once the economy begins to recover that a compromise such as the one suggested in your post might be possible. I think Republicans [but not all of them, including our Jason Chaffetz] may seize on this issue as one in which they simply MUST make amends with the Latino voters and community. With a majority of Democrats and enough Republican supporters, something will get done.
