Becerra: House Immigration Reform Bill "Includes a Pathway to Citizenship"

Quote:
A bipartisan immigration bill being drafted in the House will contain a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, one of the authors said on Friday.

Lawmakers working on the bill, known as the Gang of Seven, have refused to say when they plan to unveil it. But this is the first time one of the drafters has said the product will allow undocumented immigrants to earn full citizenship, and not just legal status.

"The bipartisan group is working on approval of this measure, which will touch upon all necessary aspects to deliver a healthy, sensible and comprehensive immigration reform," Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) said in a Spanish-language interview that will air on Univision's Al Punto. "I'm telling you directly, it includes a pathway to citizenship."

Becerra did not discuss other specific elements of the bill. He said that, generally, Democrats are willing to accept tougher border security measures than exist under current law, but not "unfair" ones that could block a path to citizenship.

That's welcome news to immigrant-rights advocates. But a passing a pathway to citizenship remains an uphill climb in the House.

Many Republicans are dead set against such a pathway and a series of small-bore immigration bills being considered by the GOP-controlled House do not include a measure that deals with all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

With the Gang of Seven bill still under wraps, supporters of a pathway to citizenship do not have an actual proposal to latch onto. Becerra did not say when the Gang would introduce its bill. But he argued that it could put Republican leaders on the spot if it is formally offered: support a pathway to citizenship or sink immigration reform.

"Are they going to advocate for what's best for the country or what's best for their party?" he asked. "If [so], we'll have immigration reform. If they decide to do what some anti-immigrant Republicans are asking, then we'll have to restart the tussle."

Huh? Wasn't the Gang of 7 a no show on Wednesday, and all fingers pointed at there being absolutely nothing even existing with the Gang of 7 bill?...

It's confusing when the consensus of the GOP conference was to approach immigration reform in a piecemeal fashion, and they release an official statement reflecting this position, but the Gang of 7's comprehensive bill is still touted as an option?

I hope the reason for this apparent contradiction is Boehner's tacit approval for them to continue with this bipartisan bill in case the GOP's other options fail.

Deal with them. They're still talking about a bill that they have been working on for years and couldn't manage to release before their own deadlines.

As the famous Republican Clayton Williams once said in comparing bad weather to rape, "If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it". I am sitting and enjoying this now.
