(Politico) The White House is insisting that President Obama remains engaged in working with the Senate to generate bipartisan immigration legislation, even as USA Today reported Saturday on the details of what it says is a draft bill from the administration.
Provisions include creating an eight-year path to residency for undocumented immigrants and permitting immigrants to apply for lawful prospective immigrant visas, the paper said, citing a document the paper said it obtained from an administration official. The bill would also call for more border patrol agents and add 140 immigration judges to the bench to speed up the process of adjudicating cases.
