UMKC Immigration Law Prof Doubts Bush Can Save Immigration Reform Bill

June 12, 2007 By admin Leave a Comment

Opponents of the immigration reform bill that is in big trouble in Washington are digging in their heels and remaining firm in their opposition despite a visit to Capitol Hill from President Bush.

UMKC Immigration Law Professor Kris Kobach, a former Counsel and Chief Advisor on Immigration Law to then-Attorney General John Ashcroft, says the President and Congressional supporters have made several mistakes with this legislation – not the least of which was concocting it in secret and springing it upon the American public.

Kobach doubts President Bush’s pleas will have much impact on opponents. Kobach adds the best way to salvage immigration reform is to take out the amnesty provision and to allow lawmakers to vote on different components individually, so that no one would have to swallow poisoned pill.
