Immigration reform refers to changes in laws and policies that govern how people from other countries can enter, live, and work in a new country. This can include adjustments to visa processes, pathways to citizenship, and regulations for undocumented immigrants. The goal is often to create a fairer and more efficient immigration system. Reform efforts can address various issues, such as family reunification, labor shortages, and humanitarian concerns. Policymakers may propose new legislation to improve the U.S. immigration system or to respond to changing economic and social needs, aiming to balance security with compassion for those seeking a better life.
