GOP bill highlights Republican rift on immigration
A new immigration reform proposal by first-term Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) is further exposing a split within the GOP between those who want the party to lead on immigration reform and hard-liners increasingly vocal against immigration as a whole.
Salazar’s proposal would ultimately grant legal status to a majority of undocumented immigrants in the United States, a conclusion many other House Republicans are unlikely to get behind. |
