A bipartisan US Commision on Immigration Reform was enacted in law in 1990. It's mandate was to review and evaluate the implementation and impact of U.S. immigration policy and to submit its findings and recommendations to Congress. The commision was then dissolved in 1997. One of the final reports was Becoming An American: Immigration and Immigrant Policy. See http://www.numbersusa.com/hottopic/uscir.html for details.

Question: Why aren't we resurrecting such a commission and get on with the proper business of discussing immigration with the facts and then, and only then legislate so-called comprehensive immigration reform.?
