The NYT and the LAT both reported this week that the Obama administration will propose Immigration Reform legislation in May. The proposed legislation will, according to the LAT story; “control immigration and make it an orderly system.” Additionally it will provide a path to citizenship for the 12 million illegal immigrants already in the country. A story in the LAT last week speculated that the proposed legislation might sacrifice future legal immigration as a compromise to gain legal status for the people already here.
Radical Immigration would like to remind the Obama administration that we got into the “illegal” immigrant situation we are in now because the Reagan amnesty in 1986 made the same compromise. Restricting immigration is incompatible with the freedoms that Americans claim and that the world aspires to. To restrict immigration we have to build more walls, hire more paramilitaries, increase inspections, threaten more raids and tear families apart. There is another choice: Allow responsible people the right to move to the USA if they fulfill some obligations to show there desire to be here and that they will not be a burden.
