Posted Mar 10, 2006

The U.S. Senate will be reviewing the issue of Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) in March 2006. The Senate does not have a final version of a bill and, at this time, it is unclear whether it will lean heavily towards enforcement or if it will have true immigration reform provisions. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that does focus on enforcement. It is doubtful that the Senate will pass the same bill.

At the Murthy Law Firm, we will continue to monitor this matter carefully. As most MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers know, various versions of immigration reform have been introduced over the years in the House and Senate. Individuals and companies should be vigilant in commenting on proposed immigration legislation, however, communicating with their senators and representatives and calling for enlightened rather than reactive changes in immigration law. Your voice can make a difference! [Information on how to contact congress is available on MurthyDotCom.]
