Immigration reform is somewhere on hold. Some say the shutdown is the reason and others say enforcement is the real issue.<\/p>\n
When you step back and take a look at the progress, or lack thereof, of immigration reform, it is quite striking that there are so many diverse points-of-view on the subject. Many think it\u2019s on hold because of the arguing over the government shut down and the ridiculous wrangling over political issues, rather than people issues. Other think it has to do with lack of enforcement.<\/p>\n
History shows that over the years immigration laws were then, and are today, largely not enforced. Many think that had to do with the fact that the system, even when it was first put into place, was too wieldy to deal with and thus got ignored. Now, millions think any kind of proposed reform must address obeying the laws of the land and securing the border.<\/p>\n
