Local leaders want a migratory reform Machicao rosary Congressman Demócrata Luis Gutiérrez presented/displayed before the House of Representatives, the past 15 of December a proposal of called law the Integral Reformation of Immigration for the Prosperity of America (CIR ASAP) or H.R. 4321 that contemplates a way to the legalization of million undocumented immigrants, among others aspects.
In order to know the opinion on integral a migratory reform, we asked the local leaders how they see this proposal of law and who they think about her.
Bev Perdue, Governor of Carolina of the North
The immigration policies are one of the challenges more complex than it faces our country. Integral the Migratory Reformation is necessary at national level, so that the 50 states do not have to try to find out an endless number of particular alternatives of solution.
Anthony Foxx, Mayor of the city of Charlotte
Support the concept of Integral the Migratory Reformation. I applaud to Congressman Gutiérrez and of the Meeting of Hispanic Congressmen (CHC) by its work by a reform of the immigration system. Also esteem the commitment of the CHC with the communities in all the country in order to improve.
Integral the Migratory Reformation is essential for the stability of our economy, border and neighborhoods. And while the immigration reform is debated, it must be balanced with taken care of and to have bipartisan support in this controversial subject. I am going to follow of insurance the progress of the H.R. 4321.
Jennifer Roberts, President of the Meeting of Commissioners of Mecklenburg
I have always supported Integral the Migratory Reformation. Our present laws, are not updated and the security reality of and social necessity of our country in the 21st century have not occurred to account of. If we want to continue being competitive in a world-wide market, we needed a way to retain talented workers that they will fill the positions left by the calls “Baby Boomers”, that are retiring by the age. We do not have sufficient numbers of visas in certain categories for specific workers or transference between talented companies and professionals. Also we needed one better way to take the account of the people who are in our country, so that they can be part of our system of taxes, that is united to the security information.
A migratory reform will be made position of these two aspects, doing difficult to be in the country of illegal way, but comprehensive with which they describe to gain estatus legal.
Susan Burgess, Vicealcaldesa of the city of Charlotte
In spite of not to have completely read the proposal of law of the Representative Luis Gutiérrez, I support a migratory reform. All we agreed in which our present efforts do not work and they are not right for anybody. Support the protection of our borders and the conservation of the family. Well it is established that in the United States we will have a lack of manpower in the future. The immigrants can fill this necessity, but first we needed a system immigration just.
Daniel Bailey, Bailiff of the county of Mecklenburg
If, I support an immigration reform that simplifies the present laws she does and them easier to understand to all. But than I know about the proposal of law presented/displayed by the Representative Gutiérrez, not the support. It seems to want that any way does not exist to enforce any law on the immigrants. Program 287 (g) is attacked for many reasons, but it allows us to identify to the arrested ones that they arrive at the jails and only hits the undocumented immigrants, who have broken the law. The Gutiérrez representative seems to want to ignore the fact that they have broken the law and they do not have to take responsibility by his illegal actions.
Jess George, Temporary Director of the Latin American Coalition
The Latin American Coalition supports a joust and the effective Integral Migratory Reformation. We recognize that the present system of immigration is essentially broken and a sensible reform will benefit to all the country having helped it to revitalize our economy, to protect the workers, to support the familiar unification while we eliminated the unnecessary expenses in present regulations that are unjust and they are not possible to be made fulfill.
