To all readers,
Many people see the arrival of a new year as an opportunity to start over: come New Year's resolutions, reviving hopes that everything will change, at least for the better.
With 2009 also reaches the twilight of the era of President George W. Bush and his administration, and the rise of Barack Obama and his agenda of change, supported almost entirely by a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress.
What changes can we expect with Mr. Obama in the area of \u200b\u200bimmigration? To get an idea, we must refer to his election platform, which has the following points:
- Create secure borders through allocation of more staff and more resources to patrol them.
- Improve Immigration System, fixing the inefficient bureaucracy that exists right now in order to promote family unification and provide employment visas to more people.
- Remove incentives to enter "illegally" by penalizing employers of undocumented persons.
- Remove people from the shadows, providing undocumented immigrants a path to U.S. citizenship after paying a fine and learn English.
- promote economic development in Mexico to reduce illegal immigration.
understand that as much as possible (and easy to do) is number 4: providing a path for illegal immigrants "legalizarze." This has been done many times through the history of the United States, and as recently as between 1999 and 2001, which was revived temporarily section 245i of the Immigration Code. This section will allow people, even if they had gone undocumented, apply for permanent residence if they met certain requirements.
is quite likely to "get people of the shadows "refers to a resurrection of that section of law, or something similar. Only requires the U.S. Congress ordered.
addition, it is too early to tell how Obama would implement a comprehensive immigration reform and meaningful. His platform does not give many details, and also, unfortunately, a reform is not as much priority as the economy now.
we can only wait and cross your fingers.
