PASSING IMMIGRATION REFORM COULD HELP THE GROWING BORDER CRISIS SInce October 1st, more than 50,000 minors, mostly from Central America, have crossed the southern border into South Texas. Opponents of Immigration Reform will use this growing crisis as proof to justify the need for tougher border security legislation and that the promise of overall reform, potential citizenship, has unintentionally inspired thousands of minors to illegally pursue a better life in the U.S. However, this mass flux of young immigrants crossing the border is actually further proof of the NEED FOR COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM. If the dramatic increase in minors crossing the border is a reaction to the proposed promise that one day citizenship may come to those currently living in the U.S., which is the critique from opponents of reform, new immigration legislation would clear up any confusion about future laws. As it is, in the bill proposed in the Senate, and any bill passed resembling it, any immigrant who came to the U.S. after December 31, 2011, would never qualify for legal status. Any immigrants who entered the U.S. after this date would know that they face deportation if they came here illegally. In addition, immigration reform would help the system deal with the current overflow of migration, increasing resources to track down undocumented immigrants and creating a system which encourages the millions of undocumented immigrants to come out of the shadows and enter the U.S. immigration system. If Comprehensive Immigration Reform is passed, the laws will be clearly outlined. It will be easier to determine who is currently living here illegally and it will clearly outline the legal path to entering the U.S. The growing crisis along the border, involving thousands of children risking their lives to live in the U.S., is just one more reason why passing Immigration Reform is absolutely necessary now. PLEASE WATCH FOR MORE INFORMATION SOON.
