According to an Associated Press article:  “Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., had pressured Citizenship and Immigration Services, a division of the Homeland Security Department, to seek permission to rehire … retirees. The permission was granted Thursday by the Office of Personnel Management.”

Hopefully the agency will get through most of the backlog in time for the November elections.

According to an opinion piece by Linda Chavez that appeared on dallasnews.com:  “Arizona has been ground zero in the fight against illegal immigration – but a funny thing happened earlier this month when a new anti-illegal-immigrant state law went into effect. Nothing.”

Apparently the high volume of complaints that was expected after the law passed never materialized.  Employers can expect complaints from a few disgruntled employees so I believe the number of reports will increase.  However, the passion on the issue of illegal immigration fizzled once the law was on the books.
