Amnesty Supporters Divided on Immigration Levels
Jeffery Kaye says in the Huffington Post that amnesty supporters are divided about future levels of immigration and how they should be divided. The House amnesty bill, CIRASAP, called for a labor market commission to set future immigration levels. "Labor believes that by establishing a mechanism to carefully regulate migration, government will be in better position to protect the rights, wages, and working conditions of both the existing workforce and of migrant workers. Business on the other hand worry that a government commission would not only politicize the process, but take away the prerogative of business (i.e. "the market") to control future flows."
