Immigration overhaul bill passes first test in Senate panel
In a bipartisan effort the Senate Judiciary Committee backed the immigration reform measure, rejecting several proposals for stricter border controls before illegal entrants can begin a path to citizenship. The panel, including Senators Graham and Flake, aligned with Democrats on advancing the core plan, while Orrin Hatch offered mixed positions. If the coalition holds, the bill could move to a full Senate vote within weeks, with a high-stakes showdown anticipated in June as the White House watches. The package would tighten border security, create a 13 year path to citizenship for eligible immigrants, and require employers to verify worker status.
