Bipartisan legislators reach preliminary immigration deal

May 22, 2013

WASHINGTON, CMC - A bipartisan group of legislators in the United States House of Representatives say they have reached a deal in principle in overhauling America’s immigration laws.
Aides said the bill in the House of Representatives is similar to one introduced in the US Senate that includes a path to the legalization of an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, including Caribbean nationals.
The House measure includes a 15-year path to citizenship, rather than the 13-year path offered in the Senate.
