Rep. Luis Gutierrez: Immigration Reform Cannot Wait
During the Presidential campaign and early in his administration, President Obama has claimed that he supports comprehensive immigration reform. So far, all we have seen from the administration is “enforcement now, enforcement forever.” A supporter of immigration reform, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) hopes to move immigration to the top of the President’s agenda. Gutierrez explains on NPR why he thinks comprehensive immigration reform cannot wait. He also talks a bit about his proposal, which, among other things, would include a commission that would study possible immigration reforms to match labor market needs.
