By immigrationprof

ABA Commission on Immigration:  The ABA website contains a “Letter to the Next President” with recommendations on topics including immigration at http://www.abajournal.com/magazine/memorandum/

American Immigration Lawyers Foundation:  The American Immigration Lawyers Foundation website provides an analysis of the “New Electoral Landscape and What it Means for Immigration Reform” at http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/images/File/specialreport/New_Electoral_Landscape_12_4_08.pdf

Casa de Maryland:  Casa de Maryland’s website includes information about its meeting with the Obama transition team to discuss immigration reform at http://www.casademaryland.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=605
