Announcement of the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act by the Senate’s Gang of Eight


Statement by Brian Figeroux; Legal Advisor of the Immigrant’s Journal Legal & Educational Fund, Inc., (Journal) on the Announcement of the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act by the Senate’s Gang of Eight:

"The bipartisan immigration bill presented by  the Senate’s Gang of 8 offers a commonsense  approach to fixing our outdated immigration  system. The Journal, volunteers and  membership recognizes that not all parties  involved will get everything they want from  the final outcome. This bill, however, shows  that the members of the Gang of Eight  recognize immigration reform is an economic  imperative for our country. We at the Journal  are particularly concerned about the issues of  family reunifications and waivers for  immigrants with criminal records.  We believe  that a focus on family reunification legislation  will lead to less illegal immigration.  Today’s  introduction is a major step in the right  direction and shows that the need to pass  comprehensive immigration reform is more  urgent than ever.”
