Yet the degree to which immigrants and their families are able to successfully integrate and achieve upward socioeconomic mobility in the United States is the ultimate test of whether immigration succeeds -- both for individual migrants as well as the country as a whole. In the absence of coherent immigrant integration policies at the federal level, the responsibility historically has fallen to families, employers, churches, non-governmental organizations, and an increasingly restive set of state and local governments. But new partners are emerging that share many of the same objectives. Increasingly, countries of origin and destination have shared interests in ensuring that immigrants and their children succeed in building their human capital and achieving socioeconomic mobility.

People should be free to work and live in whatever country they like. A low should be given against of those who immigrate to go begging in other countries.

(with 5 more amnesties in the 90’s to clear the Federal courts of cases pending by releatives that may or may not of been here) Rewarding illegal behavior and punishing honest people waiting in line in other countries is just plain wrong and un-American. Give a 90 day window of amnesty for those here illegally to return home without the 10 year penalty. Let them apply for honest citizenship if they want to live here, visas if they just want to work. Make E-verify mandatory with a fine, then 3 days license pulled, then remove business licence for 6 months. Enforce current immigration laws (like we were promised in 1986, 1996). 11-30 million people is 11-30 years of legal immigration, we cannot absorb that many people all at once on our economy, government services. The only fair solution for all concerned is to enforce the law, and get business off the welfare wagon of taxpayer subsidized cheap labor.
