Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill Reintroduced Today?

June 22nd, 2011

In my inbox this morning I received an email stating that Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) are holding a press conference at 2 pm EST to announce the reintroduction of a Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill.

I have not read/seen the text of the bill that is set to be reintroduced but based on the press release it doesn’t seem like what is being proposed is a change from anything that has ever been put forward. It seems to place border security first, learning English, passing a background check, paying taxes (as if immigrants don’t already), and standing on some non-existent line as priorities.

Is this supposed to be the proof Democrats are serious about immigration?
