Immigration Reform Rally to Be Held in DC

HeadlineMar 19, 2010

As healthcare legislation enters its final stages, the immigration reform debate is heating up in Washington. On Thursday, Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina unveiled a bipartisan measure that would force undocumented workers to admit to breaking the law and require that workers carry biometric cards affirming their eligibility for employment. In a statement, President Obama called the proposal “the basis for moving forward.” The measure comes ahead of a major immigrant rights rally in Washington on Sunday expected to draw thousands of people.
