Open to Debate

IQ2US Debates “Give undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship” – Kaufman Center (NYC)


The question of what to do with undocumented immigrants has sparked years of fierce debate but no significant action. Should we give these immigrants a chance to earn citizenship through a process that would include paying a penalty, passing a security check and getting in the back of the line? Or are we rewarding them for breaking the rules and encouraging more of the same?
