The Salt Lake Tribune reports that USCIS Director León Rodríguez called on Congress to make the immigration system more just at a convention of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network yesterday. “The immigration system that we are working off of … was mostly built back in the 1960s, meaning that it is an obsolete and archaic scheme that does not reflect our economy, does not reflect our demographics, and does not reflect—above all—our values,” Director Rodríguez said. “Real justice will come when we have reform … that gives us a path to citizenship [for undocumented immigrants].”
