WASHINGTON - Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey has introduced a broad immigration reform bill that would put the nation’s approximately 11 million illegal immigrants on a path toward citizenship and enact other sweeping reforms.
The bill, introduced late Wednesday, calls for enhanced border security and tougher enforcement of laws banning employment of undocumented workers, and would make it easier for legal residents to bring family members to the U.S.
It’s highly unlikely Congress will consider the measure this year, and it has only a slim chance of passage.
Menendez, a Democrat and the only Hispanic in the Senate, introduced the sweeping bill as Congress adjourned until the Nov. 2 elections. The measure is co-sponsored by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont.
Congress typically doesn’t debate major bills during the lame-duck sessions that follow elections.
It’s more likely Congress will pass piecemeal immigration legislation such as the DREAM Act, which would allow the children of illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. and become legal residents if they attend college or serve in the military.
But Menendez urged his colleagues to unite behind the measure.
“If we can put political grandstanding aside and work together on a comprehensive, middle-of-the-road bill like this one, we can bring all sides to the table,” Menendez said in a statement Thursday. “We can finally take action on a problem that has generated a lot of talk over the past decade but few results.”
Leahy said the measure would bring illegal immigrants “out of the shadows” while beefing up border security.
“These are goals we can all share,” he said in a statement.
One opponent, Dan Stein of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which advocates for more limited immigration, dismissed the bill as “last-minute political theater designed to impress special-interest voters” and said it’s designed intended to motivate Hispanics to show up at the polls on Nov. 2.
An immigration reform bill died in the Senate three years ago and never reached the House, largely because of a controversial provision to legalize undocumented immigrants.
Despite a drop in illegal immigration, the issue is the focus of heated debate heading into the elections.
That’s partly due to Arizona’s enactment in April of the nation’s toughest immigration enforcement law. The Obama administration is challenging the law in federal court.
After Arizona enacted its law, Menendez and a group of Democratic leaders unveiled an immigration reform blueprint that foreshadowed many of the proposals contained in the Menendez-Leahy bill.
In August, Congress passed legislation providing $600 million in emergency funding for 1,000 new Border Patrol agents, 250 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and unmanned Predator drones to patrol the U.S. side of the border.

"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." --Theodore Roosevelt
"This nation is in danger of becoming a Third World nightmare with all the corruption, disease, illiteracy, violence and balkanization known all over the world. We need a 10-year moratorium on all immigration to catch our collective breath and we need deportation of over 10 million illegal aliens in a slow and orderly fashion." --Ed Garrison
“The 1987 amnesty was a failure; rather than reducing illegal immigration, it led to an increase,” FAIR stated. “Any new amnesty measure will further weaken respect for our immigration laws. Therefore, all amnesty measures must be defeated.” --Frosty Wooldridge
