Now that immigration reform plans have been broadly laid out by President Obama, the actual process of hopefully having one has started. As much as immigration reform is considered to be a major issue in President Obama’s recent speeches, the House Judiciary Committee fears that it would be very difficult to pass the reform. Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte even described the path to citizenship as an “extreme” move.
Goodlatte showed his concerns as he asked San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro during the first immigration hearing of the 113th Congress whether there were other options to extreme mass deportation and an eventual pathway to citizenship for those “without papers”.
There will be another hearing to be held next week and it is expected to be a much different one than what just recently concluded. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., is the chair to that committee and he supports a comprehensive approach to these immigration issues.
