CIR back in the News

For a while, there has been little or no discussion about CIR--Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Every one was focused on Health Care Debate, which is a very important issue that the Obama administration has decided to tackle. Today, however, the Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, re-introduced CIR to the American people. She delivered an important speech on the need for CIR; that while her Department continues to do all it can on the enforcement front, their effort needs to be complemented by CIR. Video of the speech is available. Advocates of immigration reform, including the American Immigration Council, were impressed and felt reassured that the administration still has its sight on the CIR goals. We, at Paschal Nwokocha Law Offices, are elated by the announcement.

It seems quite ironic that this announcement comes just as Lou Dobs, a nativist and immigration demagogue, announced his resignation from CNN.

Peace to people of good will!
