We agree.
Opinion: Immigration reform must find balance - Thomas Wenski - POLITICO.com: "A recent White House blueprint for immigration reform says that any mandatory expansion of an e-verify system “must be accompanied by a legalization program that allows undocumented workers to get right by the law.” This language is encouraging. But the president and his administration now must put words into action — by actively opposing immigration enforcement legislation that does not address the underlying problems of our broken immigration system.
Hopefully, presidential leadership, combined with leadership in Congress, would bring both sides together to negotiate a package that balances enforcement with reforms in the legal immigration system. This must include a legalization program for undocumented immigrants."
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
