	Immigration Reform in 2006? by Ron Paul
		It appears congressional leaders have no intention of addressing the issue of illegal immigration this year, preferring not to tackle such a thorny problem for fear of angering voters one way or another.
		Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport individuals who overstay their visas or otherwise violate U.S. law.
		Reform must begin with a new mentality that immigration laws will be enforced.

	Center for Immigration Studies
		The Immigration and Nationality Act, the basic U.S. immigration statute that was enacted in 1952 and fundamentally amended in 1965, provides for both exclusion and deportation of public charges.
		The immigration reform law also expressly authorized consular agents to deny immigrant visas on the grounds that applicants were likely to become a public charge and clarified that illegal aliens were ineligible for Social Security benefits.
		However, those reforms that reflect the ideal of individual responsibility were weakened in the legislative process and are muted by contradicting legal standards and regulatory implementation.

		This is the term used to describe immigration reform as patterned by President Bush's "Fair and Secure Immigration Reform Guidelines" on Jan 2004 and further reiterated in his Nov. 28, 2005 statement on Securing America Through Immigration Reform.

		The Senate failed to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill on April 7, which would have tightened border controls while offering most undocumented migrants a path to citizenship.
		Although the Senate immigration reform bill was rushed, overly complicated and flawed, it may comprise the core of a future reform plan.
		The debate last week revealed that the political interests in favor of immigration are much stronger than their opponents in the Senate.

	Immigration Reform at Last?, Editorial in America, The Catholic Weekly Magazine
		Bishop Gerald Barnes of San Bernardino, Calif., chairman of the bishops’ Committee on Immigration, said in a letter in September to U.S. senators that while nations have the right to control their borders, the ever-lengthening barrier would lead to increased exploitation of undocumented persons through more and riskier human smuggling.
		The citizen wife of an undocumented Mexican immigrant who may have lived and worked here for years, for instance, with citizen children born here, could petition for her husband’s status to be legalized.
		Reforms should provide a path to citizenship for many of the 12 million undocumented persons already here, and also for those who—fence or no fence—will continue to find ways of entering the country in search of a life based on legitimate work that would enable them to support themselves and their families.

	washingtonpost.com: Immigration Reform on Bush Agenda
		Bush said at his year-end news conference last week that he was preparing to send Congress recommendations for an "immigration policy that helps match any willing employer with any willing employee." He said he is "firmly against blanket amnesty," or a mass legalization.
		Administration officials said Bush will present his proposal, which is still being refined, in the second week of January, shortly before traveling to Monterrey, Mexico, for a two-day summit of leaders from throughout the Americas.
		Some conservative lawmakers remain adamantly opposed to any changes that could be portrayed as encouraging immigration, and some members of the Republican congressional leadership are leery of the idea, making its outlook on Capitol Hill uncertain.

	Immigration Reform Debate
		So it was with bemused curiousity when the sponsors of that ad ran their logo as the commercial faded from the screen—“fairus.org”, this is not your typical advocate in the anti-sprawl debate but a less well-know group whose forté is immigration-reform politics.
		To wit: the immigration reform movement in America must reach out and build coalitions with other political organizations if it hopes to attain a critical mass to roil the legislative debate.
		Those in the immigration reform movement, on the other hand, are still vilified in the press as were formerly the environmentalists—recall when they were called “tree huggers”--and are far from canonization by any papacy of public opinion.

	ILW.COM - immigration news: Immigrant's Weekly: Is Immigration Reform Inevitable? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Presently there are number of immigration reform bills in Congress, all of which address to varying degrees three basic plans; enforcement, temporary relief, and permanent relief.
		No matter what the final immigration reform legislation looks like, it will surely and properly include strong enforcement measures, as our continued failure to take control of our borders will certainly continue to undermine our homeland security and render meaningless whatever legalization/documentation measures we ultimately implement.
		So, considering the issues of homeland security, border control, maintenance of an adequate labor force, economic prosperity, and revenues to be raised, it appears that, in the absence of another catastrophic attack against the United States, significant and comprehensive immigration reform is inevitable.

		During his campaign, President Bush promised Hispanic voters that if re-elected he would "reform" immigration, which means he would provide three-year work visas for an undetermined number of the millions of illegal immigrants that presently reside in the United States.
		Labor unions and conservatives oppose the proposed reform because they believe it would encourage illegal immigration, take jobs away from American workers, give employers too much say in deciding the fate of the illegal immigrants, and because it essentially is an amnesty program for undocumented workers.
		Instead, it is an immigration free for all and another example of a President who cares nothing for the people who pay his salary and one who thinks nothing of helping outsiders plunder this Nation’s wealth and heritage.

	Immigration reform mythology - Editorials/Op-Ed - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		So bad is the Senate's version of immigration reform that it has given birth to a whole cottage industry of analysts and journalists dedicated to exposing the bill's more objectionable proposals.
		Their good work has shattered the premise of open-borders advocates that all they are attempting to do is to achieve a "comprehensive" immigration reform bill.
		The Wall Street Journal editorial page, for instance, cited a poll that found that 75 percent of Republican voters support immigration reform "that combines increased border and workplace enforcement with a guest-worker system for newcomers and a multiyear path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already here." Of course, that's not all the Senate bill does.

	NAFSA: Association of International Educators - NAFSA Statement: Comprehensive Immigration Reform
		Our support for comprehensive immigration reform stems from our strong conviction—backed up by most foreign-policy leaders, business executives, and academic experts—that the United States must do more to be competitive in attracting students, scholars, and researchers from around the world.
		This is so not only in the political sense that immigration reform can only pass if it is supported by a broad coalition of interests, but also because it is simply not possible for one part of the immigration system to function effectively if the overall system is dysfunctional.
		To try to break out the elements of reform and put into place only those sought by one set of interests is to condemn ourselves to remain in the one place that everyone acknowledges is no longer tenable: with a broken immigration system that serves no one’s interests.

	The McCain-Kennedy Immigration Reform Bill Falls Short
		Immigration reform is necessary, but it will succeed only if it enhances national security, promotes economic growth, and protects freedom and liberty.
		The only practical solution is a comprehensive plan that addresses internal enforcement of immigration laws, the origins of illegal migration, and border security.
		Any comprehensive immigration reform program must encourage individuals to use lawful means to enter and reside in the United States.

		Comprehensive immigration reform would protect our security, allow our economy to grow, protect the wages of U.S. workers, honor our value of rewarding hard work, restore the rule of law, and respect America’s traditional embrace of immigrants.
		Effective immigration reform must consider what is best for our national security, workers and the economy, and national integrity.
		Analysis from the Center for American Progress shows that Americans favor a tough, but not punitive approach to immigration enforcement, combined with fairly generous views on immigration reform to deal with the undocumented immigrants who are already here, including a path toward citizenship.

	Statement on Signing the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986
		The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 is the most comprehensive reform of our immigration laws since 1952.
		Our objective is only to establish a reasonable, fair, orderly, and secure system of immigration into this country and not to discriminate in any way against particular nations or people.
		It has truly been a bipartisan effort, with this administration and the allies of immigration reform in the Congress, of both parties, working together to accomplish these critically important reforms.

		As Congress continues to debate immigration reform, it is important to remember the critical role of immigrant workers to the U.S. economy.
		America’s current immigration system falls short of our national ideals and is not a viable system for businesses or workers.
		It is important Congress pass a comprehensive immigration reform package that allows current undocumented workers to earn legal status --- and that will address projected shortfalls ---while protecting U.S. national and economic security.

	Deport Aliens -- It's time to deport illegal aliens and criminal alien residents!
		The Executive Office for Immigration Review -- a federal agency made up of the U.S. Immigration Court system and its appellate body, the Board of Immigration Appeals -- is the centerpiece of a largely unknown permanent amnesty for illegal aliens and criminal alien residents within the U.S. Department of Justice.
		With the complicity of the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, the EOIR litigation bureaucracy forms the hidden piece of the puzzle of institutionalized mass immigration in the federal government.
		After reviewing Immigration Court decisions at the Board of Immigration Appeals (its appellate body) the EOIR system also offers federal circuit appellate court review for the deportation of every illegal alien and every criminal alien resident in the United States.
