Reports say the proposal would provide a rigorous path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants that is conditioned upon heightened U.S. border security.
Last week saw rallies from Washington to Los Angeles demanding action. Reform opponents want America's borders secured before laws are changed.
Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies. "That's a debate that we shouldn't even have until we have in place the enforcement tools, and we've allowed them to work for a couple of years."
On another key issue, the Senate voted last week to consider gun reform. Bills include a bipartisan proposal to expand background checks for firearms purchases.
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin. "We have an agreement on an amendment to prevent criminals and the mentally ill and insane from getting firearms and harming people."经过民主党与共和党议员几个月的谈判，一项两党移民改革法案预计将在本周晚些时候出台。
报道称受美国边境安全加强的影响，这项提案将使非法移民者获得公民身份难上加难。
上星期从华盛顿到洛杉矶出现了各种要求政府采取行动的集会。改革反对者希望美国边界在法律改变之前就已安全。
移民研究中心的马克•克里克里安言：“在我们拥有强有力的执法工具以前，这场辩论是无稽之谈。我们已经允许非法移民（在美国）工作了很多年。”
对于另一个关键话题，参议院上周对枪支改革进行了投票。议案中包括一份两党对于加强枪支购买者的背景调查的提议。
民主党参议员乔•曼钦：“我们对于这份修正案已达成共识——防止罪犯和精神病患者或者疯子得到枪支去伤害他人。”
