Senate Passes Gang of 8 Immigration Bill — House Blocks It

The U.S. Senate passes S.744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, with bipartisan 68-32 vote. The bill would have created a path to citizenship for approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants while significantly increasing border and interior enforcement. House Speaker Boehner refuses to bring it to the floor, ending the last major comprehensive reform effort.
