Last year was a bad year for immigration legislation with the Presidential elections looming and no politician willing to take sides. This year with one political party getting a landslide victory in both the Presidential race and the Congressional elections, we may see policy shift to one side or the other. Not to sound cliche, but change is coming.
The economic meltdown means that pro-immigrant groups will have a much tougher job trying to push through their agenda as they try to make the case that immigration laws have to look past and ahead of year-to-year economic climate. Myopic anti-immigration groups will have a much easier task although many of them tend to be in the party that is not in power. We will keep an eye out for the circus to continue.
