Illegal Immigrants

Brian Bennett and Lisa Mascaro from the Washington Bureau write about illegal immigrants in the article "Senators Agree on Immigration Overhaul Plan" in the Los Angeles Times published January 27, 2013. Several bipartisan senators have recently been working on a plan to grant legal status to approximately eleven million illegal immigrants across the United States. It is being constructed by eight senators representing all parties, and they intend to release their plans to the public on Monday, January 28th.The record setting amount of Latino voters in the November election has drastically changed any politicians' views on the huge issues. Especially, considering how miserably previous attempts to pass such proposals have failed. The senators involved in constructing the plan are in hopes to have bill set up as early as March. This is huge step towards ending the bipartisan gridlock in congress. If our politicians can agree on a solution for this issue the possibilities for a better America are endless. There is no point in spending any more money on trying to deport illegal immigrants. Those who are here are here to stay, therefore, they should receive citizenship and there should be more efforts put into preventing illegal immigration.
