Immigration Politics: In Congress, A Harder Line On Illegal Immigrants

Another overview, from NPR, of what is coming with the new Congress

In Congress, A Harder Line On Illegal Immigrants : NPR: "In a matter of weeks, Congress will go from trying to help young, illegal immigrants become legal to debating whether children born to parents who are in the country illegally should continue to enjoy automatic U.S. citizenship.

Such a hardened approach — and the rhetoric certain to accompany it — should resonate with the GOP faithful who helped swing the House in Republicans' favor. But it also could further hurt the GOP in its endeavor to grab a large enough share of the growing Latino vote to win the White House and the Senate majority in 2012." Dec. 26, 2010
