President Obama's Immigration Reform Efforts Likely Delayed unti

President Obama announced in early August 2009 that immigration reform efforts must wait until 2010. He confirmed the intent of his administration to create a comprehensive overhaul of the immigration system. However, concerns such as health care reform and the surrounding controversy are taking priority over immigration reform currently.

According to widespread reports in the popular media, President Obama reiterated his commitment to immigration reform, both in a North American summit in Guadalajara, Mexico, on August 10, 2009, and in remarks to reporters at the White House a few days earlier. During his campaign, Presidential Candidate Obama proclaimed immigration reform to be a top priority.

The President's revised timetable for addressing immigration reform includes a draft of proposed legislation by the end of 2009. No action on this is anticipated until 2010, however, due to the other pressing matters faced by the United States at this time. Of course, as acknowledged by President Obama, immigration reform is complex. It is controversial, and current economic problems make it all the more complicated. Previous immigration reform efforts supported by former President George W. Bush in 2006 and 2007 failed, as it was difficult to obtain a consensus on such a divisive issue.

While it is widely acknowledged that the U.S. immigration system is in need of an overhaul, there is no general agreement on a method for addressing the problems. There are many varied interests at stake, and widely divergent views as to immigration levels, requirements, penalties, and enforcement.
