Where does the immigration debate go from here?
My hope is that once Congress finishes work on health care, as we continue to pursue job creation, we can also address comprehensive overall immigration reform. This is a question of national security, and it is a question of economic security. We need to determine who might be here to support the American dream, and who is here to inflict harm on our country. For those pursuing the American dream, we should give them temporary status while we check their background, and have them pay taxes and learn English while they wait. We need immigration policy that deals with employers who would ultimately hire people who are undocumented in order to take advantage of them. At the end of the day, we need a system that does all of this humanely. How has writing this book changed you? It gave me a perspective that was broader than I even imagined possible. I am trying to throw back the curtain and open the window for all Americans on the Hispanic community. Not everyone may know the true history
