IMMIGRATION REFORM POSSIBLE IN 2015

US Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, one of the forces behind efforts by
Republicans in the House of Representatives to come up with an immigration reform bill, says that early 2015 is the next real opportunity to pass such
a measure; however, this is likely to continue to be elusive if the window
closes with no movement.

Next year the political focus will inevitably move to the presidential
election in 2016 and to announcements about who will run and what they
intend to do. “I’m hoping we can do it [immigration reform] early next
Congress,” Diaz-Balart admits. “If we don’t do it early next Congress,
it just gets more difficult.”

Washington Post Calls for End of Investor Visas

 

The editor’s view is that the, “EB-5 has shown paltry results…”  It also noted that all too often the program has been tarnished by fraud. The paper did not oppose the program because it consists of selling visas to entrepreneurs. “Notice we haven’t said EB-5 is wrong because it’s immoral for the U.S. government to sell visas.”  Rather, the WaPo opined, “…let the thousands of visas set aside for EB-5 applicants be reassigned to immigrants who are worthy even if they aren’t rich.”
FAIR shares the view that the investor visa program should be ended and has warned against the current congressional proposal to reauthorize these visas. “Congress should shut down the program and devise a rational, skilled-based legal immigration policy. Then many of the people buying their way in with EB-5s might otherwise qualify as skilled immigrants,”
This editorial stance of the WaPo is probably one of the few areas on which the paper and FAIR agree. The paper has long supported visa increases and amnesty for illegal entrants and visa overstayers. No change in this position has appeared since the paper was bought by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS RALLY FOR IN-STATE TUITION AT STATEHOUSE IN MASS.


BOSTON - Students who entered the United States illegally rallied at the Statehouse to support bills that would give them in-state college tuition and access to state financial aid.

Similar bills have been considered by the Legislature since 2002 but have never passed.
...

"Students and families and schools have waited way too long... to see a solution to what really is a senseless and systematic locking out of an entire population of young people who are talented, who
are smart and who are hard-working and who could be our state's future nurses and doctors and teachers and entrepreneurs and innovators," said Carlos Rojas Alvarez.
