The Senate is in the process of debating a bill on immigration reform passed out by the Judiciary Committee. Some highlights include a blue card program in which an illegal alien could get sponsored by an employer to stay in the United States. Most that are currently here illegaly would be granted a green card which would be good for 6 years and eligible for citizenship in 11 years. The bill also makes it illegal to build a tunnel under the US/Mexico border. The Senates version faces an uphill battle in conference committee as the House version attempts to tighten border enforcement.
