2015-03-11 25

In today's program our host Jorge Gestoso interviews the Director of America's Immigration Council Beth Werlin. The conversation starts with President Barack Obama's 2008 promise of a comprehensive immigration reform. One of the key issues was the possibility of citizenship for 11 million undocumented people in the US. Beth Werlin mentions a number of other issues such as visa availability that had to be considered in putting together a packet. To date promises of reform have not been fulfilled, and the discussion revolves around major obstacles and some possible future steps. teleSUR
