Abstract

Last June, the U.S. Senate passed the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, a bill which included a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, however, has refused to take the bill to the floor of the House, instead advocating a more ‘step-by-step’ approach to immigration reform. Tom K Wong looks at the potential for reform in 2014, saying that much depends on how the House looks after the mid-term elections in November, and on the on the efforts of reform advocates who are working outside of the realm of D.C.-based politics.
