After a couple of false starts, the president today has launched the immigration reform debate. He promised<\/a> to immediately begin negotiations to craft CIR with the goal of passing legislation this year or early next year. This official statement<\/a> from the White House is a good start to the conversation. This has been the much anticipated launch that we have discussed in previous postings on these pages.
