Latest news on immigration reform today

Here are some of the latest news updates on immigration reform in the United States:

House Passes Border Security Bill

On June 25, the House of Representatives passed a border security bill that includes funding for physical barriers along the US-Mexico border, as well as other security measures. The bill, which was passed with a vote of 238-192, is a compromise between Democrats and Republicans and does not include funding for a wall along the entire border. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it is expected to face opposition from Democrats.

Senate to Vote on Immigration Reform Bill

On June 27, the Senate is expected to vote on a comprehensive immigration reform bill that would provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants. The bill, which was introduced by Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), would also increase funding for border security and reform the US immigration system. The bill is expected to face opposition from some Republicans, who have expressed concerns about the cost and the potential for it to attract more undocumented immigrants.

Trump Administration Announces New Immigration Rules

On June 24, the Trump Administration announced new rules that would make it easier for employers to hire foreign workers in certain industries, such as technology and healthcare. The rules, which were announced by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor, would also make it easier for foreign students to stay in the US after graduating from college. The rules are intended to help address labor shortages in certain industries, but have been criticized by some immigration advocates who say they will do little to address the root causes of immigration.

California Passes Immigration Reform Bill

On June 25, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that would provide driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants who are eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The bill, which was passed by the California legislature earlier this year, is intended to help undocumented immigrants who are living in the state to obtain identification and to drive legally. The bill is the latest in a series of immigration reforms that have been passed by California in recent years.

Immigration Advocates Protest at Border

On June 25, immigration advocates held a protest at the US-Mexico border to demand an end to the Trump Administration's "zero tolerance" policy on immigration. The policy, which was introduced in 2018, has resulted in the separation of thousands of migrant families and has been widely criticized by human rights groups and other advocates. The protesters, who were joined by several Democratic lawmakers, called for an end to the policy and for the US to adopt a more humane approach to immigration.

These are just a few of the latest news updates on immigration reform in the United States.
