Negative Commentary on the Reform Proposal

By immigrationprof

The negative commentary on the Senate reform proposal keeps coming.  MARTIN J. LAWLER for the Wall Street Journal (here) criticizes the proposed point system.  He contends that actor Michael J. Fox, the late news anchor Peter Jennings and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, all immigrants who found a path to a successful career, probably would not have made the cut in the point system.  (No surprise that the Governator opposes the point system, as Bill Hing has reported. 🙂  ).

Migra Matters (here) thinks that we all should be ashamed about what has happened with immigration reform.

With Senator Menendez’s family-friendly visa amendment having failed last night, it looks like the chances for improving the proposal are dwindling.  What is to become of immigration reform in 2007?
