Immigrants might find that their opportunities in the U.S. much easier to come by after a deal has been made for immigration reform.
According to the Huffington Post, big business and labor struck a deal that could gain citizenship to 11 million immigrants.

The site reports:
The deal resolves disagreements over wages for the new workers and which industries would be included. Those disputes had led talks to break down a week ago, throwing into doubt whether Schumer and seven other senators crafting a comprehensive bipartisan immigration bill would be able to complete their work as planned.
The deal must still be signed off on by the other senators working with Schumer, including Republicans John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida, but that’s expected to happen!

With the agreement in place, the senators are expected to unveil their legislation the week of April 8. Their measure would secure the border, crack down on employers, improve legal immigration and create a 13-year pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegal immigrants already here.

Trumka recently said in a statement of the reform:
“The strength of the consensus across America for just reform has afforded us the momentum needed to forge an agreement in principle to develop a new type of employer visa system,” Trumka said in a statement late Saturday. “We expect that this new program, which benefits not just business, but everyone, will promote long overdue reforms by raising the bar for existing programs.”
With the new deal, a new “W” visa program would start going into effect on April 1, 2015.
The site also reveals how the plan would effect the population of immigrants:
In year one of the program, 20,000 workers would be allowed in; in year two, 35,000; in year three, 55,000; and in year four, 75,000.
Hopefully this will make finding work for immigrants much easier, and they will be able to gain citizenship.
