Here is where the S. 744 immigration reform bill is in the legislative process:

IIC+Image-Action-+Senate+Floor

The Senate will consider amendments to the bipartisan immigration reform bill as early as Monday, June 10th, and vote on the bill in late June. Key amendments will be considered regarding who is eligible for the path to citizenship, additional border enforcement, and changes that could negatively affect refugees and asylum seekers.

Amendments will be considered very quickly, so it’s important that your Senators hear from you NOW and EVERY DAY until the Senate passes immigration reform! ALL Senators need to hear from their constituents that reform must prioritize family unity and create a clear and accessible pathway to citizenship.
