CNN is reporting that Senator Chuck Shumer (D-NY) and other will hold a news conference at 5:30 pm today to unveil a draft of proposed legislation to deal with our broken immigration system.
The 26 page document will outline proposed efforts to secure the border (whatever that means) as a precursor to the more.
The news conference is a result of meetings yesterday between Senators and pro-reform stakeholders.
More as it comes available
UPDATE:
“The 26-page draft obtained by CNN attempts to woo GOP senators in part by calling for ‘concrete benchmarks’ to secure the border before granting illegal immigrants the opportunity to gain legal status.
Those benchmarks include: increasing the number border patrol officers and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, increasing the number of personnel available to inspect for drugs and contraband, and improving technology used to assist ICE agents.
The draft proposal includes a process to legalize an estimated 10.8 million illegal immigrants in the United States.”
