Dept. of Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano urges quick action on immigration reformIn a major policy speech about Immigration Reform at the Center for American Progress in Washington, DC on Friday, Nov. 13, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano confirmed that Congress plans to introduce a Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill early in 2010 for passage in mid-year. Napolitano spoke in great detail about the security and enforcement measures that her agency has taken under to improve the current immigration system, but she noted "the more work we do, the more it becomes clear that the laws themselves need to be reformed."In noting that Americans are now ready to fully support Immigration Reform she stated: "I've been dealing hands-on with immigration issues since 1993, so trust me: I know a major shift when I see one, and what I have seen makes reform far more attainable this time around… It also marks a shift in how DHS will help to shape the next go-around of immigration reform. The DHS of 2007 looked at immigration reform solely through a national security lens, and in the process promoted “reform” that would have crippled our immigration process. The DHS of 2009 however, wants immigration reform that capitalizes on our history as a nation of immigrants.” In her speech, Napolitano essentially challenged Congress to do its share, to make the tough choices and to be brave enough to give her the tools she needs to enforce and transform our immigration laws. “Immigration reform would require illegal immigrants seeking legalization to register with DHS, pay all back taxes they owe, and submit to any penalties they are required to fulfill in order to become legal US residents… The law should require them to register, pay fines, pass criminal background checks, and learn English” You can watch a video of Secretary Napolitano's speech at: www.AmericanProgress.org Add this article to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites
