Plans to Change U.S. Approach to Immigration Policy

The New York congressman Peter King plans to tighten border security and have more undocumented immigrants arrested if they cross the border, once he becomes the new chairman of the House’s Homeland Security Committee in next week. He believes strongly that Obama administration’s has not doing well in the border security and undocumented immigrant’s issues and he commanded Obama's immigration policies were failing.

"The Obama administration continues to display an obvious lack of urgency when it comes to gaining operational control of the border, which is absolutely critical" said Peter King.

His proposals will target private companies that hire undocumented immigrants and increasing federal support for local police to arrest. He wants more illegal’s arrested.

Arizona Immigration Law is wrong: Napolitano

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano agreed that Arizona's law to get tough on immigration is the wrong way to get local police involved in enforcement and she remembered district court ruling in July and that "we cannot have 50 different immigration enforcement teams across the country." Arizona is appealing the judge's ruling.

Napolitano, the former governor of Arizona, said in a Denver speech that there are better ways to involve local law enforcement in fighting illegal immigration, including the federal Secure Communities program that has been implemented in several hundred jurisdictions nationwide. Immigrant advocates across the country have criticized the fingerprint-sharing program as too broad.

So, we have to wait and watch how it will impact in Governor Election.

Who is the Next after Arizona?

After Arizona passed illegal immigration law (SB 1070) across the politician planned to introduce similar law in their states. Based on past enforcement policies and Republican support, four states (Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma and South Carolina) were likely to pass anti immigration law (copycat laws). Georgia gets support for tough immigration enforcement, like 2006 Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act (It made harder for illegal immigrants to get state benefits). So the state likely to list SB 1070, recently the state restricted access for undocumented immigrants to some of its public universities. In the same way Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina lawmakers would try to copy Arizona’s law

Obama defends failed US Visa and immigration reform efforts

On Monday Obama said it will take time to change US Visa and immigration policies, he told on a Spanish-language radio programme. He said that even after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, it took years more for African Americans to achieve many of their goals. Let me say this as an African American: We worked for decades on civil rights, Obama said. "It didn't come after two years. People had to march, they had to have their heads beaten, they had fire hoses put on them . . . Change isn't easy. It doesn't happen overnight.

Many Latino voters have grown disenchanted over the signature issue of US Visa and immigration policy and the President is heavily courting Latino voters in the final days of the fall political campaigns.

Many people think millions of undocumented workers already in the U.S. while others insist, the country need tighter border controls to stop illegal immigrant.
