The government’s primary responsibility is to protect the people over which it has jurisdiction, and that includes enforcing the borders and having immigration laws that can be upheld justly and compassionately. One panelist emphasizes securing the border. Other panelists promote a multi‐faceted approach; the US cannot simply secure the border and not address the reasons people migrate to the US, including economic disparity issues. The government needs to increase employer sanctions and enforce labor laws. There are diminished chances for comprehensive immigration reform following the 2010 midterm elections.
