Please pick someone to respond to from our last immigration post.  You have until Thursday, March 6th to do this.  Normally I'm pretty flexible but this deadline is very firm.

Post 4: Due Friday 2/21

After the 2012 presidential election many people believed that Congress would take immigration reform more seriously because of the growing demographic and strategic importance of the Latino vote.  However, recently Speaker of the House Boehner said that despite his previous claims this year the House would not be considering any immigration bill.

Is immigration reform a significant public policy issue?  What is the fate of immigration reform?  If it's dead now, when will it be a viable issue?  Do you think Congress and the president should put immigration reform higher on their agenda for this year?  Why or why not?

There has been a lot of coverage on this issue but right now sometimes it is hard to find with all the Olympic coverage.  I recommend doing a Google search for "immigration reform".  There are a lot articles on this topic currently.  See me if you need help researching.  Your goal is to have somewhere between 3-5 sources please.

Due Friday, 2/21st
