The White House immigration summit this afternoon certainly did not end with any general consensus. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will head a working group on the issue with members of Congress, President Obama announced afterward. “But it’s going to require some heavy lifting, it’s going to require a victory of practicality and common sense and good policymaking over short-term politics,” he said. Obama’s remarks are posted on Politico. The meeting included New Yorkers Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Nydia Velázquez.
New programs for temporary workers were mentioned as one of the sticking points. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said he would not support a bill that doesn’t have a new program for guest workers, The Hill reports. The big labor coalitions have come out against such programs.
Obama promised improvements to the web site of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and better access to updates about the status of one’s application.
