I wanted to update this thread with more details from the Gang of 7 bill that has yet to be revealed
via Politico

The group envisions a minimum 15-year pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants — two years longer than the track written by the Senate Gang of Eight. Both bills would shorten that wait for immigrants who qualify for the DREAM Act.

Applicants would also have to admit they violated immigration laws and be placed in a probationary status. One trigger is tied to E-Verify and stipulates the legalization process would be stopped and reversed for immigrants if the workplace verification system is not set up in five years — a provision House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has publicly lamented.

The bill’s health care provisions essentially would reflect the language in the Senate legislation, meaning newly legalized immigrants would not have access to federally funded benefits such as Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Health care was a major stumbling block for House negotiators, ultimately prompting Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) to drop out of the talks.

Unable to resolve an impasse over a program for lesser-skilled workers, the two sides will release separate plans. Democrats favor the agreement crafted between the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and labor unions, which is in the Senate bill. But Republicans will push one tilted more toward business interests, and their plan will most likely include “significantly” more visas, including generous caps — or no caps at all — for construction worker visas, Yarmuth said. The Senate bill limits such visas to 15,000 per year.
