Why Immigration Reform is Needed to "Save America"

DESCRIPTION
This document is an article written by Deepa Iyer and published on the Pacific News Service website on September 19, 2005. The article discusses the problems with the immigration system in the United States and argues that the "immigration problem" lies not with immigrants themselves but with the system. The author suggests that the problem stems from inconsistent immigration policies, underfunded immigration services, and a lack of sufficient family and employment-based visas. The article also provides statistics and information about the backlog of immigration applications and the need for additional family and employment-based visas. The author concludes by calling for a humane immigration policy that treats everyone seeking a piece of the American dream with dignity and respect.
