Immigration bill faces uncertain future in House
The immigration debate shifts to a Republican led House where leaders oppose a broad path to citizenship. House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte rejects a special pathway for illegal entrants, while Democrats call it a deal breaker. Both parties gauge electoral impact among a rising Hispanic vote as lawmakers draft individual bills instead of a Senate style comprehensive plan. Rep. Goodlatte and Sen. Schumer indicate no simple citizenship route is expected.
