Immigration Reform

An Open Letter to Our Congressmen and Senators

Starting in January, and throughout the upcoming election cycle, the Independent Gazette will be conducting an in-depth analysis of our current immigration policy, informing not only the voters of Northeastern Pennsylvania, but also voters throughout Pennsylvania about how our Pennsylvania elected officials in Washington plan to address the immigration issue, and what solutions you plan to put forward to help solve our current border crisis.

Immigration reform is one of the top concerns of Pennsylvania voters, and it is imperative, come the primaries and the general election in November that they, the voting public, are informed about how you stand on this issue, and what your plan is to implement it. Recent reporting claims that over 250,000 migrants are being “processed” at border crossings each month, with no end in sight.  

Our first inquiry to you is: What is your solution to addressing immigration reform, and your stand on current immigration policy?

Our second inquiry to you is: Is immigration reform even needed, and, if it is, why has there been no significant immigration reform since the Reagan administration?

We will post your reply in full, unedited on our website, independentgazette.org, and will update our readers here in Northeastern Pennsylvania (as well as throughout the rest of our great state) in our printed edition every ten days beginning, February 10, 2024.

​Thank you for your cooperation,
Independent Gazette
