Immigration debate clears procedural Senate hurdle
The Senate moved immigration reform past an early procedural hurdle as President Obama urged action on a path to citizenship for about 11 million undocumented immigrants. Republicans warned of tougher border security and stricter terms for legal status, while Marco Rubio outlined the complex political path ahead. The bill envisions a 13 year journey to citizenship with fines, a tighter border, a new low skilled workers program, expanded high skilled visas, and a shift away from family preference toward skills. The party remains divided with supporters hoping for a landmark second term achievement and critics fearing amnesty and weak border controls.
