Shusterman's Dec Immigration Update: DREAM Mentioned

1. Predicting President-Elect Obama's Immigration Agenda

Perhaps a more fitting title to this topic would be "The Perils of Predicting President-Elect Obama's Immigration Agenda".
With all eyes focused on our rapidly sinking economy, no one should expect President Obama to outline his immigration agenda before he takes office on January 20th. However, I was fortunate enough to meet then-Senator Obama last February.

I am firmly convinced that he intends to implement comprehensive immigration reform. The only question is when.
In a previous issue of our newsletter, we linked to candidate Obama's answers to 36 questions regarding his positions on important immigration issues.

Senator Obama discussed, in some detail, positions that he had taken in the Senate on important immigration issues:

"I participated in the immigrant marches, have attended naturalization workshops, introduced legislation to make the naturalization process more affordable and accessible, and worked with a bipartisan group of Senators to support comprehensive reform in the Senate."

We believe that the fact that Hispanics and Asian-Americans voted two-to-one to elect Senator Obama, and supported many other pro-immigration legislators, the new administration and Congress will take steps to acknowledge this support including passage of the DREAM Act and other long-stalled legislation.
