Untranslated Expert Story of Immigration and Immigration Reform
Why is immigration important? • Immigration, whether through legal or illegal avenues, is
inevitable. • Immigration drives long-term economic growth. • Immigration makes societies more diverse, which benefits social,
cultural and civic life.
• The basic function of the immigration system is to decide how many people from which groups to let into the country.
• The immigration system controls the legal avenues by which people can enter. These include family-based visas, employment-based visas, asylum/refugee protection and diversity visas.
• While illegal immigration can happen through unauthorized entry, it is frequently the result of people overstaying their visas.
How should the system be reformed?
What does the United States’ immigration system do and how does immigration happen?
What are the challenges facing the immigration system?
• Many immigrants currently in the U.S. lack legal authorization. • The employment-based visa system is overly rigid, and poorly
aligned with our economic needs. • The family reunification system is backlogged and does not fully
reflect changing definitions of family. • Enforcement policies are costly and ineffective. • Immigrant rights are inadequately protected. • Immigrants are more diverse and more dispersed than in the past.
• Provide a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants. • Reform the visa system to better meet economic demands and
changing definitions of family. • Dial back border enforcement, and refocus resources on employer-
based immigration laws. • Reform the detention system to better protect immigrant rights.

Telling a Complete Story: Shared Prosperity Narrative

How does this issue work? What keeps it from working?Immigration is like the wind in the sails of our country. It adds power to our economy through labor, skills, and ideas. Right now our sails are positioned poorly - we need to adjust them to gather more wind in our sails.

How, exactly, would immigration reform enhance our prosperity? There are several ways that improving our immigration system would move our economy forward. For example...[expanded tax base/new talent in key industries/greater stability leading to greater consumer confidence.]

PUSH BACKDESCRIPTION
We need to create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. There are currently 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. People move to make life better for themselves and their families. We need an immigration system that recognizes the hardships and contributions of people moving here, keeps families together here in this country, and creates a rational process of citizenship for new Americans. That will do more for the United States than expensive and impractical approaches like trying to deport millions of people or trying to wall off a 2,000-mile border.

PUSH BACK REFRAMED WITH EXPLANATION
Immigration has always been vital to our nation’s economic strength and social diversity. Many of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States have been here for years, contributing to our workforce and communities. Removing them now would be impractical, costly, and harmful to the communities they call home. Instead, we need to reform our outdated immigration system to include a pathway to citizenship--one that recognizes the contributions of people moving here, keeps families together, and creates a rational process of citizenship. By modernizing our system, we can honor America’s pledge to treat all people with dignity and respect while at the same time ensuring our country’s continuing economic progress.

First whack: too long!!!
At the FrameWorks Institute, I help social change advocates understand why communication is not just pretty window dressing, but in fact fundamental to how they do what they do – that seemingly little linguistic choices can build understanding and instill a sense of efficacy with the public. One of my favorite recent projects is an ethnography with educators at the Baltimore Aquarium, who are finding innovative ways to use metaphors in teachable moments to engage systems-level thinking about feasible solutions to climate change.

Ahh, that’s better!
I am an “interaction catalyst” I look for conversations which could be happening but aren’t (or aren’t proceeding as smoothly as they might). I then bring linguistic tools to identify the barriers and work to foster contexts that support and improve mutual understanding.

Sample Pragmatism Immigration has become an important topic in the U.S. To address this issue, we need a commonsense, practical approach. Solutions should come from carefully considering all possible ideas and then
moving forward with the ones that have the best chance of improving our country. Right now, it wouldn’t make sense to send all
the people that are in the country without documentation back to their country of origin — this would be impractical, and wouldn’t reform the situation. We need to focus on taking reasonable steps
toward solutions rather than adopting extreme and impractical measures that can never actually work.

•We need to provide a way for those who are already in the United States without documentation to legalize their status.
•Immigrants should not have to wait for the border to be secured before becoming United States citizens.
• We should increase funding to the immigration service so people who entered the country legally do not have to wait too long before becoming citizens.
•We should allow the children of parents who entered our country illegally to become citizens.
•Before becoming citizens, immigrants who have entered the country illegally should be forced to pay fines of at least $2,000 as well as the back taxes that they owe. (Reverse coded to account for question direction).
