Everyone agrees that our federal immigration system is broken. But finally, it seems, the momentum for dealing with the problem is building in our nation’s capital, across the United States and in Connecticut. We have the ability to pass comprehensive immigration reform in 2014.
Senate Bill 744, a broad-based reform proposal, was approved by the U.S. Senate in June 2013 and moved into the House of Representatives. Connecticut Rep. Elizabeth Esty is coauthoring the House version, which would secure our borders, enact reform for immigrant families and businesses that hire immigrant workers, and provide a pathway to citizenship.
