Legislative Update: Senate Rejects Enforcement Only Provisions
On May 27, 2010, the United States Senate rejected Amendments 4214, 4228, 4202 and 4177 which were all enforcement only Immigration provisions.
The issue of Comprehensive Immigration reform remains a most divisive topic for the legislators and the public at large. The lack of federal action in addressing this issue has made states such as Arizona pass their own Immigration laws. It remains to be seen as to whether an enforcement only strategy will work in future legislation.
