but according to the constitution this is the land of the free so I feel like no matter where someone comes from they should suffer an operation to start a new life in the United States. Like the Barack Obama administration, it is burdened with many pressing issues, among which the plight of undocumented immigrants figures prominently. Fortunately, some of the most xenophobic voices on the national stage were temporarily stunned by Obama's victory. In this new political context, where hope has overcome fear, we can hope that America can get back to the task of building a reasonable and humane response to the needs of its illegal population. U.S. immigration policy has been at the center of political debate for decades, as policymakers consider U.S. labor demands and border security concerns. Comprehensive immigration reform has eluded Congress for years, shifting decisions to the executive and judicial branches of government and pushing debate into the halls of state and municipal governments. Meanwhile, the fate of the country's eleven million undocumented immigrants, as well as future rules on legal migration, hang in the balance. This shows over time that aging, no matter what states do -United, will not stop people from coming here to start a better life for themselves and their families, regardless of the sanction.
