over past CIR attempts, and this article may help to set the stage. MPI's
Kristen McCabe and Doris Meissner provide a comprehensive look at
major legislation and events affecting US immigration, the size and
attributes of the immigrant population, and policy changes under the
Obama administration.
Editor's Note
Keep an eye out for next week's Policy Beat, which will
evaluate the prospects for comprehensive immigration
reform (CIR) during President Obama's second term. The
article looks ahead to the political and legislative landscape
on Capitol Hill; and it's safe to say that while there may be
an emerging consensus in both political parties about the need to do
something, debate over the contours of what a consensus package might
look like undoubtedly will be extraordinarily contentious.
Before looking ahead, however, it's worth looking back, and abrief
overview of CIR attempts in recent historymay help to set the stage. The
whole concept of comprehensive immigration reformdates back to 2001,

three key elements: increased border enforcement, legalization, and atemporary worker program. Introduced to significant bipartisan support,
the plan was shelved after the 9/11 attacks.
CIR was resurrected duringmajor debates in the Senate in 2006 and 2007,
but failed to pass for a number of political and economic reasons - chief
among them entrenched political opposition to a legalization program for
unauthorized immigrants. Though small actions took place beyond that,
including introduction by House Democrats of aCIR bill in 2009and
commitment by then-candidate Barack Obama that he would address
immigration reform early in his presidency, there was little action ofsubstance.
The last time Congress attempted to deal with illegal immigration in a
substantive way was in 1996, with enactment of the Illegal Immigration
Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which included a wide range of
new enforcement measures and increased funding to strengthen border
