一昨日、オバマ新大統の就任式が行われました。間髪を入れず、ホワイトハウスのウエブサイトも一新されています。
移民政策も重大課題としてあがっており、１）水際での管理、２）移民受け入れスキームの見直し、３）不法移民を雇用に対する罰則の強化、４）不法滞在移民の合法化、５）メキシコの経済発展への援助、の合計５点の行動指針を挙げています。現在はかなり大雑把な記述になっていますので、具体案はこれからということでしょう。
９．１１以降テロ対策と称して入国管理の厳格化がはかられたこと（移民行政が治安当局の直接の管理下となった）により、移民受け入れの硬直化が近年指摘されている。移民政策が政党間の駆け引きに再び利用されないよう祈りたい。１２００万人ともいわれる不法移民の家族と生活がかかっているのだから。
IMMIGRATION
"The time to fix our broken immigration system is now… We need stronger enforcement on the border and at the workplace… But for reform to work, we also must respond to what pulls people to America… Where we can reunite families, we should. Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should."
-- Barack Obama, Statement on U.S. Senate Floor

For too long, politicians in Washington have exploited the immigration issue to divide the nation rather than find real solutions. Our broken immigration system can only be fixed by putting politics aside and offering a complete solution that secures our border, enforces our laws, and reaffirms our heritage as a nation of immigrants.
Create Secure Borders: Protect the integrity of our borders. Support additional personnel, infrastructure and technology on the border and at our ports of entry.
Improve Our Immigration System: Fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy and increase the number of legal immigrants to keep families together and meet the demand for jobs that employers cannot fill.
Remove Incentives to Enter Illegally: Remove incentives to enter the country illegally by cracking down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants.
Bring People Out of the Shadows: Support a system that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.
Work with Mexico: Promote economic development in Mexico to decrease illegal immigration.
