Chaffetz's immigration plan would exclude path to citizenship

By Matt Canham

Politicians passionate about immigration reform are attempting to define the debate in anticipation that Congress may take up the highly volatile issue this year.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, leads a group of freshman Republicans and moderate Democrats who support a resolution that says any reform proposal must not include a way for undocumented immigrants to gain legal status. The resolution supported by 12 Republicans and 10 Democrats also calls for bolstered border protection and a new requirement for all employers to verify the immigration status of their workers using the federal E-Verify program.
