People, who are keeping prickly eyes on immigration reforms news, must know about American President Mr. Barak Obama’s affirmation on Republican approach of piecemeal approach. Last month, Obama said that he is okay if an effective immigration bill, whether in pieces, serves the purpose for the nation. House Republicans proposed few small immigration bills separating each issues rather than one comprehensive bill.
However, On Friday, Mr. Barak Obama urged house to support comprehensive bill, constructed by Gang of Eight members. He told that Comprehensive Immigration Bill contain everything which an ideal immigration bill should have. This bill will boost our economy, will generate more high-skilled workers and attract more investment to nation. “So, let’s go ahead and get that done.” Mr. Obama said in year-end conference.
Comprehensive bill was passed in Senate in June this year. House Speaker Mr. John Boehner never scheduled the bill for vote in Congress. Most of republicans were against a provision of Path to Citizenship, which proposes 13 years process to appear for Immigration Medical Exam and hence get citizenship to undocumented immigrants. Also, chamber seems more concerned about US-Mexico Border Security than any other immigration issues. Most of the Conservative Republicans in Hose consider the comprehensive bill lighter on Border Security and more lenient on Path to Citizenship.
House is now on Christmas holiday break and any further proceedings on immigration bill will only happen in New Year. It will be interesting to see what will happen in this long awaiting, bit dramatic immigration reform legislation which is incredibly critical for millions of immigrants and ultimately for the integrity and security of nation.

House Speaker John. M. Boehner told to USA Today that reforms on the immigration laws will be upmost priority in the next session of congress. He told that immigration is next on agenda once the senate passes a bipartisan budget deal for the next two years.
In June 2013, Senate passed and proposed the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill to GOP House. However Boehner never brought the bill in house for vote. Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill was constructed by Gang of Eight, a bipartisan committee consists of four Republicans and four Democrats members. It addresses many key issues like Border Security measures, Merit based Visa System and Path for Citizenship.
One of the main controversial issues is path to citizenship. Comprehensive Bill proposes 13 years of path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants to be a n American citizenship and to appear for Immigration Medical Exam. Conservative Republicans in House opposed this bill and advised to draft a few small bills containing separate issues instead of one comprehensive bill. Few weeks back, Mr. Barak Obama, President of United States also supported this Piecemeal Approach. Last week, Vice President Joe Biden also confirmed that immigration reform is going to happen. It just need some time.
According to surveys, there are approximately 11.5 million undocumented immigrants are residing in United States, waiting for congress to pass reform bill. Thousands of immigrants and activists protested in many areas of United States. Many immigration lawyers and civil rights leaders have fasted in FastforFamilies tent, created outside Capitol Building, Washington D.C. in support of immigration reform bill.
Despite of all this pressure created by people, House Republicans showed a little interest to carry out on this issue. Alex Nowrasteh of the libertarian Cato Institute said the argument that Congress can’t take on immigration in an election year ignores history.“The last three big immigration reforms that have happened have happened during election years, 1986, 1990 and 1996,” Nowrasteh said.
Sources said that many house republicans are already drafting immigration bills in pieces. Reps. David Valadao (R-California) and Jeff Denham (R-California) have pressed Republicans to sign onto a letter they hope to present to Boehner in January to support action on immigration legislation But how much support they will get, let time do its job.
