More on STRIVE Act

By immigrationprof

As previously announced on this blog, Representatives Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) introduced the first bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill of the 110th Congress. If enacted, the Security Through Regularized Immigration and a Vibrant Economy (STRIVE) Act would be the most complete overhaul of our nation’s immigration system since 1965. This first step in the long and uncertain process that could lead to the passage of immigration reform this year. The STRIVE Act will be referred to the Immigration Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Zoe Lofgren. The Subcommittee could work off of the STRIVE Act, or Lofgren could introduce a modified version or she could start from scratch with a different bill that would then become the focus of committee consideration.

As of this writing, the text of the STRIVE Act is not yet available.  We have seen summaries of the bill and will soon post a copy of one.
