Immigration reform is complex. There are no easy solutions, which is why several legislative discussions are under consideration. But there are critical issues that must be addressed: border security, work eligibility and the legal status of those brought to the U.S. as children.
Our current immigration system is broken. The border is not secure. Too many people are living in the shadows. Talented people we need here in the U.S. go elsewhere because of the cumbersome process to be here. The American Dream was never meant solely for Americans. It is a symbol to the world: come to the U.S., work hard and you can achieve success.
As conservatives, we should be embracing and pushing immigration reform. For it is conservatives that hold true to the idea that we give opportunity to all and that success, yes, the American Dream, is at hand through hard work and determination.
