The issue of an amendment to the

civil rights violations, deportations, night raids, civilian volunteers,

Immigration Reform should not be postponed any longer
The issue of an amendment to the
immigration laws is not a new topic. For years, it has been discussed in the
Senate and the House of Representatives, but these discussions have shed light
on what kind of clear immigration reform is the most suitable in these crucial
moments in the country. While it is true that a comprehensive reform of

immigration authorities and the authorities of the border’s neighboring cities,

El tema de la
reforma a las leyes de inmigración no es un tema nuevo. Por años, se ha venido
discutiendo en el Senado y la Cámara de Representantes; sin
que estas discusiones hayan arrojado luces claras sobre qué tipo de reforma migratoria es la
más idónea en estos momentos tan cruciales que vive el país. Si bien es cierto
que una reforma integral a la ley de inmigración implicaría un gasto enorme
para el gobierno federal; no menos cierto es que la ley de inmigración imperante (vejaciones a los
indocumentados por parte de las autoridades de inmigración y de las autoridades
de las ciudades cercanas a las fronteras,
violaciones a los derechos civiles, deportaciones, redadas nocturnas, hombres minuto, helipcóteros, miles de
soldados apostados en los diversos cruces fronterizos), es infuncional.
