New Immigration Law

The U.S. Senate is currently debating a major comprehensive reform of Immigration Law. One key controversial provision is for a "guest worker" program, that would allow the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants now here to legalize their status, by obtaining guest worker visas for up to 6 years. At the end of 6 years they would have a "path to citizenship" where they would be able to get a "green card" by paying a $1,000 fine, and back taxes, and passing a criminal background check. Stay tuned for the latest developments.
