Obama’s Speech on Immigration From El Paso, Texas

The buzz words Obama has used in all of his recent clippings on immigration is that we need ‘to fix or reform our broken immigration system. ‘ But, has anything really happened on this front? Unfortunately, we have not had very much news. Comprehensive immigration did not pass, and does not look like it will happen either. The Dream Act did not pass, either attached to or as a stand-alone bill. Well, what has the Administration done to fix our broken system? I can only highlight a couple of minor items recently. Here they are:

  • U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announces that Iranian students and exchange visitors are now eligible for two-year, multiple entry visas.
  • ICE announces expanded list of science, technology, engineering, and math degree programs qualifies eligible graduates to extend their post-graduate training
