Some experts predicted the short-term impact of the change in administration would be a reduction in workplace raids. Others said they expected Congress to consider immigration legislation that previously failed to pass, such as a narrower legalization bill that would offer a chance at green cards for young illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.
Gordon Quan, a Houston immigration attorney, said many of the problems with the current immigration system can be resolved with targeted legislation and administrative fixes while Congress and the new administration lay the groundwork for passage of a comprehensive bill.
``I don't think we need to throw the baby out with the bath water and create a whole new system,'' Quan said. ``We need to fine-tune what we have.''

I am more interested in this part...

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus hopes to get an inkling on the scope and timetable for Obama's immigration plan when they meet in Washington D.C., on Wednesday with Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., point man for the caucus on immigration reform. Gutierrez has met with Obama since the election to discuss plans for immigration reform, Gonzalez said.
If there is a chance immigration reform could go forward I think it is feasible that we should know what the Congressman discussed with Obama,especially a clear message as to what the incoming Administration will propose to the Congress,whether it be piecemeal or comprehensive.

To add my two sense on the slowing economy and education. Professor's at the institution I
attend have emphasized that a slowing economy translates into an influx of students in America's colleges. That said, many colleges are preparing for larger amount of students. For instance, many in my graduation class (we're all getting Bachelor's) are going on to graduate studies because of the slowing economy. If the Dream Act passes many more students will pursue a college education thus translating into human capital for America.
