Over the past several weeks, we have seen what appears to be another round of attempts to reform immigration law, even as states continue to enact their own immigration-related laws in the wake of the Supreme Court’s May 24, 2011, ruling in Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting.1
Appreciating the fact that the next few months possibly present the last chance for Congress to address the issue of immigration reform before the 2012 elections, four major bills have been introduced in the past five weeks which, taken together, could be seen as a basis for comprehensive immigration reform. Senators Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Robert Menendez, D-N.J., House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, and Representative Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., have each introduced bills, which share some common areas of concern and focus. This article will examine and discuss the key components of these four legislative proposals.
