Immigration reform landscape: In a ‘dark period’ for now


Recently proposed federal and the country’s authorities, the immigration legislation, not only to preserve and the implementation of the approach and Side steps necessary to remedy a political solution to a broken system of immigration to the States United, say the proponents of immigration reform across the country.

“Since we lost [immigration reform] bill in the past year, we are going through those dark days when the legislature, implementation, the Commission will consider action. In the end, they note that this is not the right approach, “said Kevin Appleby, director of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Office of Immigration and Refugee Policy in a telephone interview with The Tidings his Washington, DC, office.

Locally, the Los Angeles City Council adopted a resolution on March 26 against the federal Secure America through a revision and implementation (SAVE) Act of 2007, legislation to implement that in the house (HR 4088 ) and the Senate (p. 2368).

SAVE The law requires all employers in the United States in four years, a period of the work done by the approval of all new and current — — immigrant workers and citizens on an e-programme. The SAVE opponents of the law have argued, based on a Social Security Administration database, the high error rate of studies funded by the state. The Federal Constitution of the measure would also have resources for both borders and implementation and within the authority to give lessons public funds and local authorities to enforce immigration law.

In a press conference on March 26 at City Hall, LA City Council President Eric Garcetti, municipalities and government leaders, including Seth Brysk, executive director of the American Jewish Committee Los Angeles, and Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, said that the adoption SAVE local law, the criminal prosecution authorities the ability to protect and their communities, and probably multiple “crippled” struggling already, whereas economy jeopardize the employment of millions of citizens and legal residents.

As in the City Council’s Resolution opposition, SAVE law contains no path to citizenship for millions of immigrants already undokumentierter in life, or in the United States, it has a programme evaluation of workers or the problem of American citizens children separated from your parents Documenting and “simply dumps more resources to a political failure, instead of a proposal for a genuine solution to the problem.”

On Tidings “embody the meantime, SAVE Act supporters had gathered 184 representatives of 218 signatures for a petition concerning the discharge of force, a floor of the house from voting on the bill. Bills, for a vote on the discharge to be given at the Bank of circumvention petition committee usual process, adding there are changes.

“We do not want discharge to the petition to be successful, because the law is SAVE execution of a single bill. It is inconsistent with what the bishops of the comprehensive reform of immigration policy” , said Antonio Cube, the new chief USCCB’s national Justice for Immigrants campaign at the site of its 17th March.

Cube, previously director of legislation Washington State Catholic Conference, stressed the bishops are not against immigration — including the reform and strengthening of border security “— immigration implementation until it there is a possibility of 12 million people undocumented In the United States, shade, family reunification and establish a sound policy for the future of immigration.

“If the law passes SAVE, we still have people living in sub-layer and the employer to pay the table and use the staff,” said Cube. He noted that the execution to proceed as doing nothing, because of legal immigration, to resolve the residues in the family or in Germany.

For some people from certain countries, he said, the waiting time is overdue for nearly 22 years before the Immigration and parents can become members of the family in the United States, said passage of the cube SAVE enforcement would only partisan, “what they need” so they No coming back in the [negotiating position] Table “for a comprehensive reform of immigration policy bills.

State proposals
Last week, Sacramento, the Assembly’s proposal Republican by nearly two dozen members of bills aimed at cutting off public services undokumentierter immigration and punishment of employers hire illegal workers. A bill (art 44) supports the abolition of the birth of citizenship in the Constitution, for the children of foreign visitors and illegal immigrants, while another (AB 1758) of California annulled a law of 2001 , which allow students undocumented immigrants to the state to pay tuition Rather than tuition higher is deemed necessary.

According to Carol Hogan, the communications director of the California Catholic Conference, “Republican Legislature Border Security Package” is an “exercise”, given that the legislature of the State of the Democratic majority is undoubtedly the proposal Bill Nix. “Some bills will never be for a consultation, and others are summarily dismissed,” said Hogan.
