Bipartisan Senate group crafting immigration bill may miss March deadline, say talks

WASHINGTON — Senators in a bipartisan group crafting a comprehensive immigration bill say they’re not sure if they can meet a self-imposed March deadline but they’re optimistic about a deal soon.

The lawmakers in the “Gang of Eight” have been meeting several times a week to write sweeping legislation that would strengthen the U.S.-Mexico border, improve legal immigration, crack down on employers who hire illegal immigrants and provide an eventual pathway to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S.

When they unveiled legislative principles in January, the senators announced they hoped to release a bill sometime in March. Now, several senators — including John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio — say they’re not sure if they’ll meet the goal. Rubio says it’s more important to do it right than fast.

As long as they promise to have it on early April, it's fine. If they take longer, then we may have another 2006-2007 type situation on our hands.

Whatever the deal is, it MUST have provisions for immediate permanent residency for DACA students, legalization and immediate travel authorization for the rest of the crowd. Predicting a late May passage in the late night hours of floor action.

I saw that DreamActivist update their status about the DA being re-introduced this week? Anyone know anything? :D

I'm not sure if this has to do with the CIR introduction deadline the article talks about....:neutral:

Edit: I just read an article that said it was going to be reintroduced in the House last week (February).
