House Immigration Bill Coming Early Next Week

Kentucky Congressman John Yarmuth says a comprehensive immigration reform bill will be introduced in the House early next week.



The Democratic-controlled Senate version of the bill passed by a comfortable bipartisan margin last Thursday after months of debate.



But Speaker John Boehner has made it clear the Senate version means nothing to the Republican-controlled House, where many lawmakers have described the pathway to citizenship provisions for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants as nothing more than amnesty.



The speaker has has also made it clear he will not bring any measure to the House floor unless it receives support from the majority of the GOP caucus.
