En este año la reforma comprensiva de inmigración está dentro del alcance. Representará un trato más equitativo para aquellos que desean inmigrar legalmente a los Estados Unidos y suministrar un sendero para que los 12 millones de indocumentados extranjeros puedan hacerse residentes y luego ciudadanos. Mientras se tarda unos meses para crear la legislación e implementarla, las personas que pueden beneficiarse, deben prepararse ahora.
En esta columna estaré examinando la documentación probable que se necesitará. Estaré examinando los problemas de inmigración y las correspondientes soluciones que pueden ser provechosas.
Hasta la Próxima!

President Bush Endorses Comprehensive Immigration Reform
On January 23, 2007, during his State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush outlined his position on immigration reform which included: temporary guestworker status, comprehensive immigration reform, and a workable solution for the more than 12 million undocumented migrants currently in the United States.
These proposals are similar to what Bush requested of Congress in 2006, most of which were enacted into Senate bill S 1033. The roadblock last year was the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, which opposed immigration reform, as illustrated by the enactment of House bill HR 4437. Thankfully, that roadblock is now gone with a Democratic-controlled House of Representatives.
This year comprehensive immigration reform is within reach. It will mean more equitable treatment for those wishing to legally immigrate to the United States and provide a pathway for the 12 million undocumented migrants to become permanent residents and then citizens. While it will take some months to create and implement the legislation, individuals who may benefit should prepare now.
In this column, I will be reviewing the probable documentation that will be required. I will be reviewing specific current immigration problems and the corresponding remedies.
Please note that this column contains general legal information and is not intended to provide solutions to specific cases. Every case is different and requires individual review by an attorney of your own choosing, licensed in your state.
