Immigration lawyer TorontoCanadian lawyer in immigration law says Harper should follow Obama on illegal immigration
US President Barack Obama announced the historic immigration reforms last week that will allow millions of illegal immigrants in the country (about 4.7 million) to avoid deportation and to take measures for the citizenship.Under the new reforms, anyone who has lived in the US for five years or a parent is a citizen or permanent resident of the United States can now apply for citizenship and avoid being deported.
While the reforms have generated criticism from Republicans, advocates of immigration believe that these changes are not major. The issue of illegal immigration is also a concern in Canada, although it is debatable to apply here similar reforms to those announced by the United States.
