April 25 (Bloomberg) -- The Republican-led House will rewrite U.S.
immigration law through a “step-by-step” process, the Judiciary Committee
chairman said, in contrast to the Senate’s decision to consider a single
comprehensive plan.
“This process can be long,” Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, a Virginia
Republican, told reporters today in Washington. He said his panel will
examine a rewrite of immigration laws through “regular order,” which will
allow lawmakers to ensure their constituents’ “voices” are heard.
The House Judiciary Committee will start with the introduction of two
Republican-sponsored bills this week: one focusing on agricultural guest
workers and another on an electronic employment-verification system,
Goodlatte said.
Immigration overhaul “is not an easy task, but a solution is not out of
reach,” Goodlatte said.
The House is taking a different approach than the Senate, where the
Judiciary panel plans next month to consider an immigration plan introduced
last week by a bipartisan group of senators, instead of individual pieces of
legislation.
In the House, a bipartisan group of members has been working on a broad
rewrite of immigration laws for more than four years and is poised to
present its plan in the coming weeks.
Goodlatte said his committee will examine how individual immigration
proposals would fit with the bipartisan group’s proposals. He said “no
decision” has been made on how to address a proposal by the bipartisan
group.
Representative Trey Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican who leads the
Judiciary panel’s immigration subcommittee, said the House approach would
ensure “this is the last time we have this conversation as a country.”
