Reid strongly supports legislation (S 729) that would create a path to citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants if they attend college or join the military, but that’s on hold too awaiting legislation that would deal comprehensively with the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants already in the country.
Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona, a leading negotiator on the last big immigration bill in 2007,
said action on a comprehensive immigration package seems unlikely this year, given the lack of consensus on how to address the problem. He cited the labor union, which had been split on the subject, unifying against a temporary-worker program. “Without that, you’re not going to have a bill, in my opinion,” Kyl said. “You certainly won’t have a bipartisan bill.” Border security also remains the top priority for Republicans.
