On June 5th the U.S. Senate is scheduled to resume debate on S. 1348, The Immigration Reform Act of 2007, a bill that addresses border security and immigration enforcement, creates a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants in the U.S., establishes a temporary worker program, and makes changes to the family preference and worker visa systems.

S. 1348 contains many important elements of comprehensive immigration reform.
