Immigration Reform Bill

An immigration reform bill, mostly concerned with Latino immigrants (I think), was introduced to the Senate today. The bill, proposed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, would implement a guest worker program and a way for illegal immigrants to continue work in the US and eventually become permanent residents. It would also tighten up on the border with more Border Patrol agents, unmanned vehicles, cameras, and sensors.

To me, this sounds like a good idea, but according to CNN, it may get highly contested in debate, and may not get passed or may get watered down. I realize that this may cut down on the ease of immigrants getting into the US, but the US also can’t allow just anyone to come into the US either. So, it sounds like to me a fair proposal for immigration reform.
