Senate rejects tighter rules on illegal immigration path to legalization
The Senate tabled Hutchison's bid to require illegal immigrants to return home within two years for green card eligibility and defeated Webb's four year residence requirement. The votes were 53-45 and 79-18 respectively. Supporters argued the amendments would curb amnesty while backers said they would ease public concern. The bill would let about 12 million illegal immigrants seek permanent lawful status, with key provisions tied to resident status by January 1, 2007.
