June 30, 2011 Statements

President Obama is constantly repeating himself with regard to immigration. Every speech has the same buzz words: “comprehensive immigration reform”, “broken immigration system”, “balance tough security”, etc…

Here is my take: we just will not see comprehensive immigration reform in this political environment. The democrats simply do not have the political clout. They do not have a majority in the House.

Border security should also be a separate issue from immigration reform. Do we have to wall up our borders first in order to discuss immigration reform?

Rather than comprehensive immigration reform, I would like to see this Administration take small steps towards immigration reform. Passing smaller, beneficial measures such as the Start Up Visa Act would have a much higher chances to pass than some big and unwieldy Comprehensive Immigration Reform Plan. What do you think?
