Immigration reform info

Confused about all the talk involving immigration reform? The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has a short  background paper about the need for comprehensive reform here. On the Bishops’ agenda:

1) a path to citizenship for the undocumented population in the country;

2) reform of the family-based immigration system to reunite families—husband, wife, and children—more expeditiously;

3) a future flow low-skilled worker program for migrant workers to enter and work in the U.S. safely and legally;

4) the restoration of due process protections for immigrants; and

5) policies which address the root causes of migration--poverty and persecution.
