President Obama’s Proposal For a Pathway To Citizenship For The 11 Million Undocumented Immigrants Living In The U.S.
Obama four part immigration plan:
Continue to strengthen border security, if needed more border patrol agents, more technology to help identify criminals and security threats.
Penalize employers who hire undocumented workers. Enhance employee verifications system. Create path to citizenship. Give undocumented workers a legal way to earn citenzship, so they can pay taxes.
Undocumented immigrants must pass a national criminal and security background check, pay taxes, learn English, pay a fine, and get in line behind those who came before them. Streamline immigration system. Establish a effecient system for immigrants who work hard and obey the laws.
A bipartisan group of eight senators four Democrats and four Republicans also developed a plan to address immigration reform.

Their plan named the “Gang of Eight” plan stated that first and foremost border security would have to be enhanced. Next identify and penalize businesses that hire undocumented workers. The outline does not however take into account the timeframe of the pathway to citizenship. The plan however states that we must create tough but fair pathway to citizenship.
