Immigration Reform - Not Dead Yet?

As we enter 2014, there is still a slight glimmer of hope that the 113th Congress may yet address immigration reform.  The Senate passed a comprehensive bill last year, but the House has declined to take up the issue.  Speaker Boehner has recently sent signals that at least certain pieces may be addressed this year.  The New York Times published an interesting article yesterday: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/02/us/politics/boehner-is-said-to-back-change-on-immigration.html?_r=0 

I had written off the chances for reform several months ago, but as we approach the 2014 elections, there is apparently renewed interest.  And if there is reform, let's hope that Congress addresses:  family unity, backlogs in processing, H-1B visas and DREAMers.
