Immigration Source #1

I have been online looking at various websites for information on immigration. I found this website that has some great information, CFR (Council on Foreign Relations). I like it because it doesn't take a particular stance, but it still has a lot of information about what is going on with immigration reform. It not only talks about what has been going on with immigration reform but also where we are with reform. I am still learning about this topic myself but from what I can gather, we are pretty much stalled out in reform because noone really wants to take a firm stance in support of immigration reform that will actually help immigrants become US citizens and keep families together. I also believe there needs to be more legislation passed at the state level. More positive legislation like what California has passed, which according to the information on CFR:,

 "In September 2013, California enacted some of the most immigrant-friendly policies on the books: Undocumented immigrants are eligible to apply for drivers' licenses, practice law, and receive in-state tuition at universities. Legal permanent residents may sit on juries and monitor polls, although they cannot vote."

There is actually a lot of information out there right now since it is a hot topic for the Presidential election. However, you have to really read the information because this is a such a hot political topic right now and you want to make sure the information you are reading is remaining neutral That is the only way you can truly be educated on this very important issue.

 I don't get into politics much but I firmly believe that everyone that comes over here, legally or illegally, is escaping their home for a reason and we need to do what we can to help them become the best they can be. This is the chance that your ancestors had. This is the chance that every human should have.
