From the Washington Post: "A key Senate panel broke with the House's get-tough approach to illegal immigration yesterday and sent to the floor a broad revision of the nation's immigration laws that would provide lawful employment to millions of undocumented workers while offering work visas to hundreds of thousands of new immigrants every year."
The Senate Judiciary Committee reportedly marked up a new bill that is very similar to the bill introduced and supported by Senators John McCain and Edward Kennedy, S. 1033. Also related are two other bills: H.R. 4437 and S. 2454.
The White House has posted a page on immigration reform and a new fact sheet on the President's proposals.
