This article looks at recent government actions that have contributed to the immigration debate, and then considers a number of the key issues: (1) Should the United States grant some sort of legal process, or "amnesty," to undocumented workers already in the U.S. who wish to seek permanent residency and, perhaps, citizenship?; (2) What is the current system for documenting workers and how effectively does it work?; (3) Should the government more vigorously enforce immigration laws?; and (4) Should individuals who claim to have been economically harmed by the hiring of undocumented workers be able to hold employers of those workers liable for monetary damages? (Contains 1 note and a list of 4 resources.)
