Email
Published May 9, 2007
This proposed act would, among its many parts, allow illegal immigrants to live and work legally in the U.S. with a work authorization card, after paying a fine and other fees. It would also create a temporary worker program, in which workers would have to return home every two years, staying in their country of origin for one year between each work stint. A separate new program would be created for agricultural workers. The bill stalled after a Senate vote on June 7, 2007. On June 28, 2007, the bill "died' in the Senate after failing to get the 60 votes needed to end debate.
