Schumer: Immigration bill seen passing Senate by July 4
Senate Democrats expect the immigration overhaul to advance to the full Senate on June 10 with as many as 70 of 100 senators supporting it though House Republicans warn they will craft a separate piecemeal bill delaying any citizen pathway for about 11 million unauthorized immigrants. Senate leader Schumer said bipartisan support remains key and that amendments will be allowed while House members push their own approach.
