The President has announced a new executive order for the nation tonight involving immigration policy. The President claims that he has waited too long for the House of Representatives to act. It has been a long time to have reform on immigration but we have had problems with it before. Legislation is slow on purpose because we do not want hasty decisions and bad policy made. It is a long process. We should respect that it is long and we do not want tyrannical actions.
I do want immigration reform and let more people in the country. I believe we should really increase the HB 1 Visas for smart people who want to come. They can help solve our problems. What we do not need though is executive action that ignores the system that works. It will take long but waiting letting the elected people decide is better.
The House also delayed action because the Administration will veto or let it flounder in the Senate unless it was exactly what he wanted. Let the house have discussion and amendments. Even though they do not agree with the President they are still elected and should have their voice heard.
