Immigration Reform Issues in the 111th Congress
"..This report synthesizes the multi-tiered debate over immigration reform into key elements: legal
immigration; legalization; immigration control; refugees, asylees, and humanitarian migrants;
and, alien rights, benefits and responsibilities. It delineates the issues for the 111th Congress on
permanent residence, temporary admissions, border security, worksite enforcement, employment
eligibility verification, document fraud, criminal aliens, and the grounds for inadmissibility.
Addressing these contentious policy reforms against the backdrop of economic crisis sharpens the
social and business cleavages and narrows the range of options."
