Today, Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (R-IL) announced that on Tuesday, December 15th he will introduce a Comprehensive Immigration Bill.  Congressman Gutierrez stated, “We have waited patiently for a workable solution to our immigration crisis by this Congress and the President.  The time for waiting is over.  This bill will be presented before Congress recesses for the holidays so that there is no excuse for inaction in the New Year.”  He further states, “This bill is ‘enough’ and presents a solution to our broken system that we as a nation of immigrants can be proud of”.

In light of the debate still raging on health care, coupled with high unemployment, we have concern about timing.  We’ll see how this is received and will, of course, continue to report on this.  The good news is that the stage is being set for a conversation – hopefully early next year.
