U.S. Sen. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, is undecided on the measure. It's not a piece of legislation that would appear in a committee he serves on, nor has any vote date been set.

But Lankford believes tackling a variety of issues associated with immigration should be a priority for Congress.

"No one in America thinks the current immigration system works well," Lankford told The Oklahoman. "While the federal government improves border enforcement, Congress must begin to debate the hard issues surrounding our nation's bureaucratic immigration system. We can start by considering solutions to address individual immigration problems, such as VISA overstay enforcement and worker verification, among many other issues."
