Pass immigration reform that will allow immigrants that are already here to earn a green card without having to return to their native country.
In part, it was our neglect that allowed them to build lives here in the US. We allowed them to work while we looked the other way. We benefitted from their desperate needs, imposed by their illegal status. We chose not to enforce the laws that govern our immigration policies. We must share the responsibility for finding humane solutions to our immigration issues while recognizing the positive roles that immigrants, legal and illegal, have played in our economy and our communities.
