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"The bipartisan immigration bill presented by the Senate’s Gang of 8 offers a commonsense approach to fixing our outdated immigration system.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.”
