As immigration activists continue to put the pressure on the government to pass immigration reform, there have been signs that a vote on more limited immigration reform bills may occur in 2013.  On Sunday, President Obama told ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” that if the Senate’s immigration reform bill were put up for a vote in the House, it would pass.  While House leaders have made no indications that the Senate’s bill will be presented for vote, other immigration and border security bills may be considered by the House in 2013.  In a memo to House Republicans, House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, recently stated that the Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees have produced bills which the House may consider this fall.   The Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Bob Goodlatte, also stated that he expected votes as soon as October on bills related to border security, internal enforcement, guest workers, and high-tech visas.   Nevertheless, according to Mr. Cantor, it appears that any other immigration related reforms will not be considered until “we pass legislation securing our borders and providing enforcement mechanisms to our law enforcement officials.”  We will continue to keep you apprised of any new developments on immigration reform.
