Immigration overhaul sparks split over who benefits and who stays out
The debate over a Senate bill on illegal immigration highlights a split between advocates who want broader coverage and opponents who fear too much inclusion. The bill would exclude post 2011 arrivals and certain family members, while supporters push for faster reunification of families like Isaac Jimenez, who seeks to join his wife and Fresno children after illegal entry in 1998. The discussion centers on balance between security funding, a lengthy path to citizenship, and who would be eligible for relief.
