Comprehensive Immigration Reform

President Obama opened the debate on Comprehensive Immigration Reform yesterday much to the chagrin of restrictionists and xenophobes. Less than 24 hours later the push for a sensible approach is gaining steam and we are hopeful that cooler heads will prevail on this issue.

As the President stated yesterday "we are a nation of immigrants". Passing legislation must include reforms and improvements to our current system, address the undocumented population and provide a path out of the shadows, and improve Border Security by providing for an effective system of regulating migration in an orderly manner.
