For millions of long-term undocumented immigrants, there is no possibility of "doing it the right way" under the current immigration law. In addition, the U.S. economy depends on their vital contributions to the workforce. True immigration reform is a matter of fairness, human dignity, and protecting our immigrant friends and neighbors on whom American businesses rely.

Fixing Immigration in America cuts through party politics to deliver a clear, compassionate blueprint where everyday citizens can find common ground. Drawing on over thirty years as an immigration lawyer, Robert Coughlon, Jr., lays out realistic solutions that protect peaceful noncitizens by reforming the immigration laws in a common sense way. The plan in this book is a "win-win" for everybody on all sides of the immigration debate.

• Learn how updating a forgotten legal tool (Section 249) offers an earned path to legal status for peaceful, long-term residents.
• Discover why moving immigration judges out of Executive Branch control is essential to restoring judicial fairness and clearing massive court backlogs.
• Explore a practical framework for ICE reform that restores agency integrity and uses a strict "50-mile rule" to stop profiling, while keeping federal agents focused on serious transnational crime.
• Uncover data showing how legal workforce channels safeguard American agriculture, residential construction, and national fiscal stability.

Written in clear, understandable language for everyday readers, yet packed with concrete legislative proposals for lawmakers, this book gives every American a straightforward guide to solving the immigration crisis once and for all.

"This book is an important contribution to the discussion of immigration reform." — Ira Kurzban, past-national President and former General Counsel of the American Immigration Lawyers Association
