Task Force to Recommend Overhaul of U.S. Immigration System

Quote:

The panel did not recommend allow more guest workers, but threw its support to a 2006 recommendation by the Migration Policy Institute that was endorsed by labor union leaders to create a standing commission to establish future legal immigration levels based on economic conditions. It also called for strong border enforcement and a mandatory work document verification system based on fingerprints or eye scans.

Quote:

The panel also recommended "earned legalization, not amnesty" for an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants now living in the United States, requiring those who wish to stay to work, pay taxes, learn English, pass background checks, pay fines and wait their turn behind legal immigrants.

Yes Carlos Watson just interviewed a member of the task force on MSNBC. :-D

I'm glad they distinguished between earned legalization and amnesty. We already do, but too many people don't.
