Not reform without citizenship in immigration debate
The Senate, with Ted Cruz joining, moves to weeks of debate on immigration reform while opponents push poison-pill amendments and strip a path to citizenship for about 11 million undocumented workers. Without citizenship, reform is incomplete and risks a permanent underclass, despite calls to balance border security and workplace checks with a realistic path to legal status. House efforts to pass piecemeal changes and block the DREAM Act style protections are urged to be rejected. SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS
