A few days ago President Barack Obama gave a much anticipated update on the issue of US Immigration Reform.
A great deal of support for President Obama, is said to have come from those that want to see this bill pushed through congress, and done so quickly.
President Obama hopes to have the US Immigration Reform policy to congress by the end of the year, though admitted that a serious debate on it likely wouldn’t occur until later in the year.
The implications of such a policy are far reaching and President Obama makes no claim that getting this through congress will be easy. Here’s what he had to say:
“Am I going to be able to snap my fingers and get this done? No. . . . There are going to be demagogues out there who try to suggest that any form of pathway for legalization for those who are already in the United States is unacceptable.”
