All about that executive order on illegal immigration

President Obama's executive order on immigration is also topical to 2305 students - as well as some 2306 students that are approaching it from the state's perspectives.

- In case you're interested, if you click on this label - illegal immigration - you'll go to past blog posts on the subject. This label - immigration - might be helpful too.

These are some of the questions raised in the proposals. Some papers will address more than one.

- Is it constitutional?
- What roles do each level of government play in immigration policy?
- Is it good policy?
- Beyond the order itself, is our immigration policy broken?
- What impact do illegal immigrants have on the budget?
- Do employers like illegal workers?
- Do they really destroy the economy? Might they benefit it in someway?
- Will it be reversed by the Republican Congress?
- Will it be reversed by the courts?
- What impact will the order have on Texas?
