Is the best path for immigration reform a single comprehensive bill or multiple bills dealing with individual components.
Personally I am strongly in favor of the multiple bills options. Comprehensive immigration reform is way too likely to result in a gigantic bill 1000s of pages long containing all kinds of loopholes, junk, etc that no one realized was even in there. A smaller step by step process would result in bills short enough to be actually read by the people voting on them plus discussion each portion of immigration thoroughly is more likely to result in a law which has somewhat broad support and actually accomplishes what it is intended to accomplish. Other thoughts? |

While your suggestion is the best way to go about it, being politicians, they will be unable to avoid screwing it up.

Hey this is just the type of legislation to stuff pork into; vote against it and you're anti-Hispanic. That's how the politicians bribe us voters with our own (soon to be other's by the demographic shift) tax money. Our current system of law making is corrupt to the point most people trust used car salesmen ahead of politicians. Poker CPO Poker Mind and, Mangy Fur the Smart Alick Spacecat.

A single bill risks sinking under its own weight; multiple bills risk being only selectively passed and ending up with, for example, a bill that restricts immigration through one route passing, without the complementary bill that opens up immigration through a better route... And either approach lets people add junk in. |

Multiple bills probably actually allow more junk to be added in. `
