Last Republican in Bipartisan House Group on Immigration Working on a Bill of His Own

Would provide a path to citizenship

|

The only remaining Republican in what had begun as a bipartisan House group working on immigration says that he is crafting legislation that would provide a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants, a move likely not to sit well with some of his GOP colleagues.

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, of Florida, said he and several other Republicans are working on a measure that offers some of the nation's estimated 11 undocumented immigrants a way to "get right with the law," according to the Wall Street Journal.
