dc.description | Only time will tell how the U.S. Congress will reform immigration. As of today’s
date, the future of immigrants in the U.S. looks fairly uncertain, and with more than
eleven million lives in the balance, it is making life difficult for those waiting to
receive the full benefits of their labor working in the United States of America. | es_MX |
dc.description.abstract | Immigration reform in the United States is causing battles in both Houses of the
U.S. Congress. The proposal that came out of the House of Representatives in
December 2005 is a more repressive reform proposal treating the immigrants
without legal entry into the U.S. more as criminals than as undocumented workers.
The reform proposal that passed the Senate in May 2006 is less harsh, and also
provides routes to legalization for undocumented workers which the House of
Representative version does not. The main problem with the proposal for reform
that came from the Senate is that in reality, it would be very hard to put into effect.
The Department of Homeland Security, which is the parent agency governing
immigration matters, is not equipped to deal with the numbers of legalization
applications that this proposal would generate. In addition, the last two provisions
require that the undocumented workers leave the country, which would not be
viable and certainly would not occur. | es_MX |
