Florida Immigration Lawyer Blog
Eight United States Senators came out with a general, non-detailed plan for future immigration policy in the United States. One of the senators included Florida Republican, Marco Rubio. It is a four point plan that includes:
1) Creating a path to citizenship for those who are already here without legal authority, while securing the borders so more people cannot enter without inspection;
2) Allowing more unskilled employees to enter the country legally if the employer can establish that there are no U.S. employees to fit the employment qualifications;
3) Creating employment verification so employers can’t hire aliens who are here without authorization;
4) Reforming the immigration process to allow those who want to immigrate lawfully a more streamlined path.
No details have emerged about this bipartisan agreement. And it remains to be seen whether the legislature as a whole will accept any or all of the general principals.
