Immigration Reform: Issues, Congressional Action & Past Efforts

Immigration reform is a key issue for the 113th Congress. The Senate has passed the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, a comprehensive immigration reform bill that includes provisions on border security, interior enforcement, employment eligibility verification and worksite enforcement, legalisation of unauthorised aliens, immigrant visas, non-immigrant visas, and humanitarian admissions. This book discusses these and other immigration-related issues that have received legislative action or are of significant congressional interest in the 113th Congress. See more
