BREAKING NEWS

2013 Immigration Reform

May 1, 2013

    On 04/16/2013 the Senate "Gang of Eight" introduced the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act" into the Senate. A few weeks later, on 04/30/2013, the sponsors filed an amendment to the bill that clarified and cleaned up the bill from its original version. Mark-up of the bill (amendment votes and a final vote to move the bill out of committee) will begin in the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 9th and will continue for the two to three following weeks, most likely concluding before the Memorial Day Congressional recess. 

    If the bill is able to secure a majority of the votes on the committee (made up of 10 Democrats and 8 Republicans) it will move on to the floor of the Senate.
