There is new hope for illegal immigrants in their quest to become citizens of the United States. President Obama has plans to reform the immigration system in the U.S. to make it easier for illegal immigrants to become a legal U.S. citizen.
Obama's plan of reform will not be released until May but it is clear what his goal is. He plans on reforming the policy to a "policy reform that controls immigration and makes it an orderly system,” said the official, Cecilia Muñoz, deputy assistant to the president and director of intergovernmental affairs in the White House.
When Obama was campaigning for office earlier last year, he promised to implement an immigration legislation system that would make citizenship possible for an estimated 12 million immigrants. He has admitted that the state of the economy will make this bill harder to pass.
Opponents of this bill say that it is wrong for Obama to legalize 12 million illegal immigrants when so many Americans are already out there looking for jobs.
