Mayor Bloomberg to next President: Immigration reform central to economy

in a memorandum to the President-Elect printed in Newsweek (November 3 issue), Big Apple Mayor Michael Bloomberg has this to say about immigration:

“Immigration reform is central to getting our economy back on track. The elements of the most practical and effective plan combine ideas from both the left and the right: imposing tighter border security; creating a 21st-century worker identification card that will allow employers to verify the legality of a job applicant and allow the federal government to enforce the law; increasing lawful opportunity for those seeking the American Dream; and—following in the footsteps of President Reagan—allowing those who are here illegally the chance to earn the right to stay.”
