Immigration Reform
 Prosperous
nations such as the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom will
always attract immigrants that are in search for a better life. The problem is
that many immigrants do not follow the proper immigration channels. The United
States has an illegal immigration problem as immigrants enter the country
illegally by crossing the border between the United States and Mexico, or they
enter legally but overstay their visas. The United States Immigration Reform is
specifically targeting the problem of 12 to 20 million undocumented workers in
the United States.
About The Immigration Reform
The Immigration Reform is primarily focusing on the number of immigrants, both
legal and illegal currently in the United States. Organizations and politicians
that use the term “Immigration Reform” to support a decrease in immigrants
include: American Immigration Reform, NumbersUSA and Congressman Tom Tancredo.
There are also several groups and politicians that support immigration to the
United States, including: Senator John McCain, Congressman Chris Cannon and the
National Immigration Forum.

President
Barack Obama
"We are not going to ship back 12 million people, we're not going to do
it as a practical matter. We would have to take all our law enforcement that we
have available and we would have to use it and put people on buses, and rip
families apart, and that's not who we are, that's not what America is about. So
what I've proposed... is you say we're going to bring these folks out of the
shadows. We're going to make them pay a fine, they are going to have to learn
English, they are going to have to go to the back of the line...but they will
have a pathway to citizenship over the course of 10 years."
The proposed Immigration Reform included the following topics.

- Federal contractors must use the Federal Electronic Employment Verification
System to verify each employee
