“Republicans have agreed to fund the agency but also want to use a spending bill to block implementation of Mr. Obama’s executive action on immigration, announced in November” (Timiraos n.pag).

So it secures jobs for American’s and it secures jobs for immigrants who are here with the proper paperwork. We gain security for all once we have a functioning immigration system, which this reform works towards and is a temporary fix
