8. Thinking now about immigration reform…As you may know, the House of Representatives is
beginning to consider different immigration reform proposals. One option is legislation that
would significantly increase border security, block employers from hiring undocumented
immigrants, and make sure that undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. with no
criminal record register for legal status. If immigrants were to meet a list of
requirements, they could eventually apply for citizenship. Knowing this information, would
you support or oppose this legislation?
