The new immigration reform will grant a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. as well as tighten border security and boost the economy, but when will congress reach an agreement on the issue?
The immigration reform bill was supposed to be decided by August before the congress’s annual month-long summer recess, but the debate has been prolonged because Republicans and Democrats have not been able to reach an agreement on the provisions of the bill. Now, the nation has to wait until after the August recess to hear an answer, and many fear that the issue will die down and congress will set the issue aside.
What it comes down to is whether Republicans will come to an agreement or the bill will die a slow death with the voices of millions being drowned out by the indecisiveness of congress.
