Congress returns to work after a weeklong recess. Many legislators heard passionate and pointed words in their home districts on immigration reform.
"But we are here today as a coalition, as a group to put the pressure where the fight will be on the House."
Last month, the Democratically-controlled Senate passed a bill that would boost U.S. border security, streamline the legal immigration process, and provide a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented workers. But action in the Republican-controlled House is far from assured.
Congressman Bob Goodlatte is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which oversees immigration matters. "I do not think a special pathway to citizenship should be provided at all."
Instead, many Republicans want to focus on border security first and foremost. But an enforcement-only approach that fails to address the legal status of the undocumented is unacceptable to many Democrats, including President Barack Obama.
Only if both houses of Congress pass an identical version of immigration reform would the bill go to the White House for Mr. Obama's signature.
House Speaker John Boehner has given no indication a vote will be held.休会一周后，国会又重返正轨。关于移民法案，很多立法者都听到了来自他们家乡激昂而犀利的言论。
“今天在这里我们要联合起来，给战斗的主战场——众议院施压。”
上个月，民主党控制的参议院通过一项法案，该法案能够提升美国的边境安全，提升入境手续效率，并为数百万在美国工作的非法移民提供身份合法化的渠道。 但是该法案能否在共和党控制的众议院得到通过却还难以预料。
鲍勃·古德拉特是众议院司法委员会主席，该会负责审查移民事宜。他说：“我压根就不认为我们应该提供一条特殊的公民身份合法化渠道。 ”
而很多共和党人则欲将边境安全问题列为第一要务。然而，对于包括奥巴马总统在内的民主党人来说，仅仅是强制执行未能给予非法移民以合法公民身份的法律是不能让人接受的。
只有移民法案获得国会两院共识时，才能送由白宫，请奥巴马总统指示。
对于众议院是否会举行投票表决，议长约翰·博纳还未做出任何表示。
