Irish hopes rise in Schumer immigration hearings

“It’s much too early to speculate. This is the kick off for a renewed conversation but among other things, he (Schumer) is a strong supporter of strong employer ID requirements that will truncate the ability for future undocumented immigration to the U.S., and that is one of the key issues here,” said Brennan. 

Alan Greenspan, economist and former chairman of Federal Reserve, is expected to talk about the economic benefits of a mass legalization policy.

Also expected to testify in front of the Judiciary Committee on Thursday is Dr. Joel Hunter, senior pastor and member of the President's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships; Doris Meissner of the Migration Policy Institute and former commissioner of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service; and Eliseo Medina, executive vice president of the Service Employees International Union.

The hearing will take in the Dirksen Office Building in the nation’s capital on Thursday, April 30 at 2 p.m.
