07/07/10 | With the Department of Justice announcing its lawsuit against the Arizona law, which followed a major speech regarding the need for comprehensive immigration reform by President Obama, the researchers said that support for the Arizona law, while strong, is not as strong as support for comprehensive immigration reform.

Jan Brewer (R-AZ), underscore the need for the federal government to intervene in just such a manner. Repeating comments she made earlier this month, Gov. Brewer said last Friday, "Well, we all know that the majority of the people that are coming to Arizona and trespassing are now becoming drug mules. They're coming across our borders in huge numbers. The drug cartels have taken control of the immigration." | Read More »

06/21/10 | After the news of his plight generated outcry and editorials on his behalf, the announcement that Eric Balderas will not face deportation is both a welcome development and a clarion call to pass the DREAM Act. According to Frank Sharry, Executive Director of America's Voice, "While Eric's story is resolved favorably, it speaks to the dysfunction of our current immigration policy that it took public outcry to ensure that he was not deported. We must continue working to fashion an immigration system that actually recognizes that it's in our national interests to keep Eric Balderas at home in the U.S..." | Read More »
