“The Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) expresses serious concern over key provisions in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives immigration bills that now advance towards consideration by a Joint House and Senate Conference Committee.

“The Senate and House bills do not provide reasonable or viable solutions to our nation’s immigration problem,” stated HNBA National President Nelson A. Castillo. “Our concern is that since the Conference Committee begins its work on the basis of deficient Senate and House bills, the opportunity for viable and effective immigration reform shall continue to elude us.

“While the HNBA commends President Bush and members of the Senate for attempting to move legislation forward with positive objectives, such as increasing the penalties for the illegal exploitation of immigrants and providing additional funding for our Immigration Courts and Border Patrol, taken as a whole, the Senate and House bills do not represent a fair, humane and comprehensive approach to the immigration policy reforms that America needs,” added Castillo.”
