Political Will Doesn't Exist for Major Migrant Reform

Arizona Republic (Opinions): I've never been one to shy away from lost causes. Over the years, some of my so-called lost causes, like earmark reform, have even become cause celebres. It just takes a little persistence and a lot of patience. However, border security is an issue too important to Arizona for us to continue to insist on tying it to immigration reforms that may not come for years, if at all. I've long felt that the best way to secure our southern border is to increase border security while creating a legal framework for foreign workers to work in the U.S. and return home. While there are already a number of worker-visa programs in operation, these programs are insufficient to meet the demand for workers, particularly when the U.S. economy is thriving.
