President Barack Obama outlined a five-point immigration reform proposal on Tuesday. The White House proposal would put undocumented immigrants on a path to legal immigration status in the U.S. The proposal also calls for a strengthening of border security, better enforcement of existing immigration and hiring laws, more streamlined legal immigration processes and green cards for foreign students who graduate with science and technology degrees. Similar proposals have been aired in the past and have failed after a storm of opposition from rights groups, privacy advocates, lawmakers and the Department of Homeland Security.”]
