4 principles of Obama’s immigration reform policy

4 principles of Obama’s immigration reform policy

US President Barack Obama's comprehensive immigration reform policy, which is taking shape under the recently introduced legislation by a bipartisan group of four Democrats and Republicans each in the Senate, highlights the path to legal citizenship for over 11 million illegal immigrants in America.

Here are the four principles of Obama's common sense immigration system.

Strengthen border security

The proposal gives law-enforcement agencies the tools they need to make communities safer from crime and strengthens their ability to remove criminals and apprehend and prosecute threats to national security.

Streamlining legal immigration

The proposal provides visas to foreign entrepreneurs looking to start businesses in the US, helps the most promising foreign graduate students in science and maths stay in US after graduation, and reunites families in a timely manner.

Earned citizenship

The proposal provides undocumented immigrants with a legal way to earn citizenship so they can come out of the shadows. It holds them accountable by requiring they pass background checks, pay taxes and learn English.

Cracking down on employers hiring undocumented workers

The proposal is designed to stop businesses from exploiting the system by knowingly hiring undocumented workers. It holds these companies accountable, and helps employees verify their status.
